Sad sight

Coming back from feeding the hens this morning the noise of helicopters filled the air.  

They were searching for the eight men lost when their ship, the Cemfjord,  sank yesterday in the Pentland Firth.  It was carrying cement and the most likely cause for its sinking is that the load shifted in the huge waves and tidal currents.  

Sadly the search was called off at nightfall.
