"Pob hwyl", or "hwyl fawr"? As we leave North Wales for the almost certainly sunnier climes of Southwest Ireland (famous last words), a quick post of the view from #Caergybi to Ynys Mon. Just watching all the gannets (and I don't mean the birds) attacking the free food in the club lounge before at least some of them regurgitate it back into the onboard latrines during the forecast gale force crossing.

Picture from the prow of a ferry over a grey-green, agitated sea looking towards a headland in the distance, which separates the sea from an equally grey and cloudy sky. The headland shows a line of white, crashing waves where the sea meets the land.

Woken at 5:30am by birds and “don’t worry be happy” over the speakers.

Things I see on a ferry #Seattle #FerryLife

A green sign depicting a muster station, featuring stylized figures of people gathering in the center, with arrows pointing in various directions indicating evacuation routes. The text at the bottom reads "MUSTER STATION."

Couldn’t get any more #PNW out here unless I was run down by a moose decked out in flannel while trying to rescue my IPA from an otter. #Ferry #FerryLife #Seattle #WAwx #DamnFineCupOfCoffee

A view through a rain-specked window, showing a misty and overcast landscape outside. The foreground features a portion of a boat's interior, while there are hints of a railing and distant trees visible through the glass.

Today's ferry: MV "Isle of Arran", known as the "Auld Trooper". At over 40 years old, she's the longest-serving vessel in the Caledonian MacBrayne fleet.

#FerryLife #IslandLife

On the calm waters of Brodick Bay, the ferry approaches the pier for the first sailing of the day. In the foreground, vehicles wait to be loaded. In the background, low cloud hides the foothills of Goatfell.

The 8pm ferry leaves Ellenabeich for Easdale Island.

#Argyll #Scotland #Summer #IslandLife #FerryLife #IslandCrossings

The sun has just set behind Laggan Deer Forest on Mull, as the small passenger ferry backs away from the slip to cross Easdale Sound.

Concours d'Élégance, Easdale Island.

#Argyll #Scotland #IslandLife #FerryLife

On a newly-mown lawn in front of a slate wall and houses, a crescent of inverted wheelbarrows wait patiently for their owners. There are no cars on Easdale Island; there are no roads, only paths and tracks.

High water, Easdale Island harbour.

The spring tides have been boosted by a storm surge from #StormKathleen, covering the slip way footpaths with loose rock.

As the tide ebbs, we'll find out what's been rearranged underwater.

#Argyll #Scotland #FerryLife #IslandLife

A small dinghy and the Easdale ferry at the pier on Easdale Island. The water level is higher than predicted; loose rocks have been scattered over the walkways. In the background is Ellenabeich and DÚn Mòr on Seil.

It couldn’t be more official (until I get the keys this Saturday). I am bound.

Hahaha, just for fun, we experienced an 11th hour hiccup as we neared a closing date for a house in Bremerton. But that seems to be in the rearview mirror now. So we may ACTUALLY be moving mid-March.

Between crossings.

(Not sure if I'm inspired or bored; I do know bits of me are quite damp...)

Another window in the Easdale Ferry office. A handheld VHF set and a pair of binoculars sit in front of the window, through which can be seen Easdale Harbour with a pontoon. The reserve ferry is moored on the pontoon, as are two smaller boats. A grassy bank leases up to one of the few two-storey buildings on the island. The sky is a dark blue-grey, promising more rain.
(It kept its promise.)

Morning all...

It's dark, windy and occasionally wet. And warmer - it's 6 or 7⁰c outside already. Apart from the darkness, it's to be like this all day.

#Argyll #Scotland #Winter #IslandLife #FerryLife

Waiting for the passenger for the 0715 ferry to Seil. Tbe Easdale slip is illuminated by a yellow streetlight; the lights of Ellenabeich are visible across the sound.

Sometimes it gets quite busy; and then we do several crossings to clear the queues...

#FerryLife #IslandLife #Argyll #Scotland #Summer

Passengers amuse themselves by playing with slates as they wait for the ferry back to Seil. Monochrome image because it's a grey day...
