Is this the modern equivalent of "Please excuse the shaky writing?"
Do you mean the wind waggling the camera?
Its not too bad today but if you listen for a gale in the Hebrides (on the shipping forecast) and then go onto the webcam its great from the safety and warmth of one's shed. Even better if you get your Henri-Lloyds on to watch it...

I went on a sailing course up there one balmy August, just as we slipped toward the entrance to Kererra Sound in the early evening a squall came in and blotted out every single light, reducing visibility to less than the length of the boat, flattening it on its ear, rendering my pilotage plans worthless and the lady on the helm a quivering wreck. We did survive though scraping through with just the depth until the lights re-appeared through the gloom.

It is pretty up there though, when you can see it.
