The leaving of Stornoway

I went for the 0530 ferry (leaving the car on the pier, unlocked, with the keys under the driver's seat) but we did not sail on time. There was a problem with the bow thrusters which required parts and engineers to be flown up from Glasgow. By the time they had arrived and worked their magic, we were ten hours late.
