Ferry tired so seals are off the hook
The mystery of what crippled the new ferry Loch Seaforth has been solved.
Various sources claimed that the reported creel in the stern thruster was extremely unlikely because the thrusters are only used to manoeuvre on and off a berth, where creels were very unlikely to be set.
Suspicion then fell on the seal population of Glumaig Bay but after a conversation with a very knowledgeable town worthy I can now reveal what the divers actually found. A mangled car tyre.
