Mike had booked us on the 9.30 ferry to Armadale on the Isle of Skye. The morning was very overcast but the sea was pretty calm. We arrived 40 minutes before, the request was to be there 30 minutes before it leaves, so we ended up being 3rd in the queue. For a while we were thinking that there would only be a few of us but within 30 minutes the lanes were all full and we were being loaded on the ferry.
The departure gave us a good view back at Mallaig and its fishing boats. You can see our hotel in the photo on the top just right of centre.
The crossing was smooth and only took 30 minutes. I much preferred it to the crossing between the North Island and South Island at home. The ship we were on was called the MV Coruisk.
Upon arrival, we were third off the ferry. Armadale is a tiny village, and it was raining quite heavily at that point. So we headed down the road, to watch the ferry depart. This photo is the same ferry with the mainland in the background as it headed back to Mallaig.
