I don't think that I have ever joined a ship by bus, so today was a
first. Down to Great Western Road and the 8:40 Citylink direct to
Oban. Pretty trip up the road with quite a lot of snow still around,
particularly at the top of the Rest and be Thankful.
The vessel Isle of Mull duly arrived at 11:45 and sailed 14 minutes
later for Colonsay, pretty familiar territory to me from last year's
sailing down Sound of Kerrera and then an hour and a half trip with
our 10 vehicles and 22 passengers. So much warmer today with the wind
round to the SW at last, a little bit of a swell coming in but that's
not a problem on here, just stick out the stabilisers and all is well.
We were back in Oban for 17:30 after a very early dinner, they eat
dinner at 4 on board here. All tied up for the night and the evening
free to do as we wish. Which is reading the safety management manuals
in my case.
