CALEDONIAN ISLES IN SEA RESCUE
A small vessel, with three people on board, was adrift midway between
Ardrossan in Ayrshire and Brodick on Arran after the engine broke down.
The captain of the Caledonian Isles ordered his crew to launch the
high-speed rescue craft, as the Caledonian Isles circled the Stricken vessel.
After being launched, the Fast Rescue Craft was able to tow the
motorboat to Brodick under escort by the Caledonian Isles.

Isle of Arran had problems with her bow ramp at
Kennacraig on at lunchtime - the forward section jammed solid against the
linkspan whilst still in vertical position. After a few attempts at lowering
it, the vessel moved back three feet and with the car deck alarm going off,
cars were eventually able to leave.
Hebridean Isles went for a wander during her
layover at Oban - was captured re-entering the Bay from the northern end -
am not sure where she had been during the 90 minutes while Lord of the
Isles used the linkspan. |
