very wet and windy day today up on lewis.

winds of 36 mph. weve had 5.0mm of rain since midnight

[Need Help On The Site/forum?]

havent had any trouble today, fingers crossed

[Flamin' heck!]

Two things about this got me thinking.

1) Surely the skipper of the vessel would've had the foresight to look at advanced weather charts/warnings and head to the nearest port ASAP?

2) If it were a Ro-Ro ferry, can you imagine the mangled metal as cars, lorries etc collided on the bottom deck.

well you'r point number 2 reminds me of last year when the ferry end up 90 miles of course in strong winds. many of the cars got dameged or destroyed in a ro-ro ferry.

Translation anyone ??

Sorry mate Im trying my best

Aww c'mon. Lets forgive a bit of bad spelling, none of us are perfect and maybe this guy has a problem with spelling such as dyslexia. I for one would applaud anyone who has the guts to post knowing that they may get ridiculed for their spelling. I get the drift of his post and I ag ree. We have increasing lengthening days still to look forward to.

Too much picking on peoples faults could lead us into UKWeather world territory where I for one do not post for fear of being torn apart.

This is a really friendly forum, lets keep it that way.

thanks mate

This reminds me of a question that I asked a couple of years ago but never had answered!

There is a scientific name for the faint light in the Northern sky at that time of year & I completely forgot what it was. Anyone who can help me this time?

Dave
