Lord of the Isles spent the day at Oban in lieu of her cancelled
inward sailing from Barra and Lochboisdale. She then picked up her normal
roster with the 1700 sailing to Colonsay.

Clansman was forced to miss her 2nd call at Coll this evening due to
the weather conditions. Instead she left Tiree and had to sail for Oban
instead. Coruisk was duly repaired and was then stormbound for the rest of the
day. Isle of Lewis was late back into Stornoway at lunchtime and her
afternoon sailing was then cancelled due to the first autumn gales.
The Oban - Craignure service was subject to delays this afternoon. Isle
of Mull arrived at Craignure nearly 45 minutes late with her 1600
sailing from Oban due to weather conditions experienced earlier in the day. Loch Alainn ran on her normal roster until 1715. She then performed a
1730 sailing from Barra, returning at 1820 and then an additional sailing
from Barra at 1910, returning from Eriskay at 2000. This was due to Lord
of the Isles being stormbound at Oban.
The 1205 sailing from Berneray and 1330 back from Leverburgh were cancelled
as Loch Portain was stormbound.
01/10/08
Coruisk suffered problems this afternoon and was forced to turn back
to Mallaig on her 1625 sailing from Mallaig. She returned to the linkspan by
1645 and remained there out of service. Loch Bhrusda left Mallaig at 1000 this morning and made her first
venture into Loch Nevis. She conducted berthing trials at Inverie and
Armadale before
returning to Mallaig.
