Heavy rain and a fresh breeze.
Just as well I am not travelling by ferry today as the larger boat now on is being diverted to do a run to Colonsay. This means the one I am booked on on Wednesday would not get to Oban in time for my appointment.
A FB spat is going on as it is alleged that a late evening one left 20 minutes early. In any case train passengers have to sprint to get on if it is at the correct time. Waiting a few extra minutes seems to be beyond them. In the past train passengers informed the guard and he phoned ahead to hold the boat.
Once I was on board at Craignure when it was announced that the ferry would depart late as waiting for a blue light ambulance. A tour guide complained bitterly that his group would be late for their dinner and he was not pleased. Surprised he actually made it physically unscathed to Oban but he was never seen on Mull again.
