If it was as bad as this I hope you have sea legs taz, our winds were 55mph , the sailing normally takes 90mins but that day it took 2hrs. Nothing was being served the kitchen and bar were shut , but you good still hear stuff flying around the kitchen, they even shut the steal shutters that cover the front windows , normally used in the winter only. Do it now !

This is the ferry that we were on , we were sitting at the window on the upper deck , the Windows below the bridge were covered by the steal shutters . As you can see , it wasn't a daft wee ferry .
