[Update at 6.20pm - MV Isle of Lewis left Ullapool at 6.19pm. ETA Stornoway is about 9.10pm.]
The weather is still causing problems with the ferry after the morning’s first return sailing to Ullapool today was cancelled.
Now CalMac says it has delayed the 1.50pm sailing from Stornoway till 3pm. Vehicle traffic should still check in no later than 1.15pm.
For tonight’s scheduled 5.35pm departure from Ullapool (which will obviously be delayed for a bit), vehicles should still check in no later than 5.30pm.
CalMac Isle of Lewis seem to have given up sailing period. Last Tuesday (14 Jan) evening with 5.30pm departure from Ullapool. Having settled down for a calm (sea was peaceful and calm) crossing I was amazed to find (6.05) we were still tied up before being informed over tannoy “sorry for the delay we are now ready for departure to Stornoway” No explanation given for the delay. Maybe with the relative dead calm water they were just rechecking if there was wind somewhere out there in the dark!!
