Break-down

The ferry has still not left Stornoway, 3 hours after its billed departure time. Apparently, the bow-vizor is stuck. The captain and engineers are assessing the situation. Meanwhile, passengers are waiting on both sides of the water.

Interesting detail: The MV Clansman is supposed to go for its overhaul immediately after completing this afternoon's runs. The normal vessel, MV Isle of Lewis, is on its way north from Gourock after refit.
