Morning, Dull n grey here with a blooming wind, Spring has been n gone for now. 
Regan and I were going over to The Isle of Lewis for a few days at the end of the month, I chose there as I've never been on the Island BUT, we are thinking about canceling because of the trouble with Calmac and the ferries breaking down. I don't know what they're playing at   We never have this bother with North Link Ferries to Orkney and Shetland from here, in fact one of our ferries was loaned to Calmac last summer to help out. We thought things were getting back to normal with the new Ferries being finished and added to the fleet. BUT.. Some of the Islanders were on the News last night doing their nuts, shops are running out of food, people can't get to the Mainland for hospital appointments, tourists stranded ect ect......What a mess.

Goodness,  that doesn't sound very good Raven.
Wonder what's causing it all?

What a breath of fresh air to hear a CEO shoulder the blame & not make any excuses.

Thanks Raven.
Unless I have misunderstood,  how on earth could they have let a third of their fleet of ferries together all get  in too bad a condition to use?    I can understand one getting to old and useless,  but FOUR,  all at once?
Surely that is down to Management?

Don't think it was easy!
