Umm, the worst ferry trip I had was Guernsey to Weymouth a few Xmas's ago and that had all except 6 of us pukking. But this is horrific, I am surprised they left in this.
Must have been some damage I'd guessed.

Re: Old Stornoway ferry

Nah it was the Hengist which used to be a cross channel ferry and got pensioned off.
It went aground at Folkestone after a horrendous storm in the early 80'. This was on a TV program the other week where they bought all of the crew involved back together. Interveiwing the Captain he was saying that in the port they were snapping 4 inch warps and he ran out of replacements so had to cast off. Then a Genny broke loose, smashed all the electrics and drifted ashore!
