Fog!




I woke up to find the ferry pier had disappeared in a white out.

The ferry was delayed today and there was a special "go slow" requirement because the visibility was less than 2km so the journey took about 45 minutes instead of the usual half hour.

Kudos to the ferry crew. I wouldn't have driven, much less sailed, in this weather - even if my vehicle was equipped with the latest radar systems. It was like sailing into a dense white cloud.

If only I can get Paul McCartney's song out of my head. All together now: "Mull of Kintyre, Oh mist rolling in from the sea..."
