From a gentle breeze to screaming storm

At 08:00 the wind was blowing from the west at about 10 knots.  The barometer started to rise quite rapidly and by 08:15 we were experiencing winds in excess of 80 knots.  You can see the Clansman heeling over in the wind and in the background is the Lord of the Isles tied up on the North Pier, these are photos taken in the sheltered waters of Oban Bay.  Needless to say we aren't sailing anywhere this morning.
