Baptism of fire

Not really going to plan today, the old enemy the weather has played a big part in today's proceedings.  We left at 08:00 for Craignure in a brisk Easterly which was a full gale by the time we approached Craignure Pier,after 45 minutes or so we got alongside stern in and some of the vehicles had to back off.  The other ferry that has been standing in for us the Hebrides, then took up our run and is still doing it while we are manoeuvring around Oban Bay waiting for a free berth, and the wind is still howling.  Welcome back.
