Working? I heard the evening crossing tonight is cancelled due to a technical fault!!! Hopefully it'll be up and running again tomorrow...

hmmm, considering it took 3 attempts at berthing whilst i was there i would be inclined to say it is weather related, if that;s right, then there'll be a fair few cancellations if the boat can't tie up in 20mph winds - let's hope i'm wrong.

Oh well there's always bound to be a few teething problems to begin with. But I'm dying to go across on it now - can't wait for my next trip to Orkney!! Wonder what the seating area is like inside? Anyone who goes on has to take more pics!!!

**Tugmistress** · 06-Feb-09, 17:21

I'm hoping to do a quick jaunt myself on one of my days off, but no doubt someone will post some before then! she looked to be cutting through the water very smoothly when she headed back to orkney this morning

Hi Tugmistress....
Pretty nice fotos.......nice/ bonny boat but high windage, and cat hulls have no 'grip' in the water, thus the wind problem.. perhaps they have a bow thruster......but very modern....and I watched it on AIS....pretty nice 2 c Caithness from 3000 miles away...and remember what the wind is like! Again very well reported.
