A view from the arriving Islay ferry on a November early evening in Port Ellen. The pier with the “barley boat” berthed on the left side, some of the houses around the loch in the background.
Probably not something most people would take a picture of, but I somehow like the orange colour against the blue/grey water of West Loch Tarbert. Noticed this wind sock during a departure from Kennacraig for Islay. Interestingly from what I understand wind is actually more dangerous for (modern) ferries than waves. Waves they can quite easily withstand, but strong winds can be a problem in particular when they are berthing. A strong gust can easily move a ferry and push it against the pier or linkspan, causing damage.
A nice memory from a ferry crossing to Islay, a beautiful colourful sunset behind the island
