Loch Portain was out on trials today before returning to JWD. She is
expected to leave the Clyde tomorrow on her return journey to Harris.
Lord of the Isles was noted running 40 minutes late as she passed
through the Sound of Mull this morning on her way out to Coll and Tiree. The
delay was due to a strong northerly wind and the fact that she was also
going against the tide.
Eigg carried out a fuel run today from Oban to Craignure. She left
Mull at approx 1155 |

Canna is now heading for Oban to be repaired. Raasay is taking
over the role of Rathlin ferry in the absence of the regular vessel.
Loch Portain is now in JWD having her annual overhaul finished. It is
thought she will be out on trials during Monday and then she will be heading
north to resume her regular duties in the Sound of Harris, allowing Loch
Bhrusda to return to Rosneath as spare vessel.
Loch Riddon is noted back in Largs today after her recent visit to
Rothesay. She was there to shelter from the predicted bad weather on the
night Loch Shira went up to Gourock. She can be seen in the photo to
the right, behind the pier while Loch Shira is at the slipway.
