Used to have the original Bing on 78...
This will have to do...
... and love the skirl of the pipes...
This was filmed (not by me - only a loony goes to Stornoway during Ceilidh - monstrously overbooked) on the ferry (MV Leodhais/Lewis - a tub of a vessel that looks at a ripple on the sea and stays in dock) I usually catch to get to the Island, but when I looked up for this I found a posting for the old ferry (MV Suilven - tough as old boots) that went down to Wellington when she was sold, now operating out of Fiji...
I've been on a couple of crossings like this... when she was new we had to make a winter crossing (2nd January 1974) for my gran's funeral - we got stuck in Ulapool (mainland port) overnight waiting for a force 10 to abate... at around 5AM she sailed into the teeth of a force 9... once in open water she listed hard to port and stayed that way until we reached Stornoway... black on one side and grey on the other windows... it was not possible to open any door on the starboard side - almost all the way was like that video... bow disappearing beneath the waves (like you see in those Russian Convoy videos) and the engine racing as the props emerged from the sea - unbelievable... the crossing usually took 210 minutes - that trip took 315 minutes... closest I've ever been to being travel sick...
