The Barra boat

At least it wasn't raining when we walked downtown this morning to the fish quay, stopping for a chat with our elderly neighbour Margaret on the way down. I still haven't heard back from the camera shop regarding my zoom lens failure, so took my Lumix out with me - it's not the same, even if it's a lot lighter!

Took a few pictures, but this one of the 'Isle of Lewis' inbound from Barra was the best, with the crew at the stern waiting to throw the ropes as an extra. 

Quote of the Day:

Johann Lamont  - “In my mind, the CalMac ferry is linked with the joy of arrival, the sadness of departure, the loss of loved ones brought home by ferry to rest in island soil.”
