Stormin’ away from Stornoway – again

 The call at Oban was a success – a white-knuckle (for Diva) tender ride followed by a walk along the seafront for air and exercise and bird spotting.

For the second time on this voyage, the weather conditions at Stornoway were not favourable for tender operations and the call was cancelled. TSH had been following the weather forecast and had been predicting this for several days. The sea is a little rougher – TSH and Diva are not venturing outside or onto the higher decks. But they have travelled through far worse in the past and they are well and have plenty to do including booking food deliveries for when they are back at home. They will not need to attend the cappuccino art lesson or the napkin or towel folding demonstrations.

The cancellation of the tour at Stornoway has left Diva with the problem of how to spend the remaining onboard credit. No doubt she will find a solution to this problem before reaching Southampton.
