Riddon was dispatched to relieve during the morning (was spotted at
Largs 0730) and was spotted approaching Claonaig with a very delayed 12.00

Raasay is currently at Largs relieving the Loch Riddon that's
in JWD getting ramp repairs. |

Tying to keep up with these small boats and there wild travelling isn't
easy! Just reported is that Raasay was missing from Largs yesterday
but Loch Riddon was at the Millport Berth with Calmac men work on her
stern ramp (The one she uses when she is at Largs). |

- It now appears Raasay is back at Gourock!... |
