Driving into the town on Wednesday morning to see another of the BBC fleet of ships moored at the New Quay awaiting loading of Vestas towers. I noticed that it was listed away over to port with boat cranes to that side as you can see from the pics. Heard later that day that it had a problem with its bow thrusters when attempting to moor at the quay and that divers were down inspecting the fault. A bit of a big ship that could have done a lot of damage if it did lose control.

Campbeltown harbour was well afloat yesterday with local and visiting vessels sheltering from the severe gales which battered the West of Scotland. Bridges were shut and ferry routes were cancelled with the wind speeds reaching 60 to 70 mph at times, felt like that up in Carradale this morning.

Amongst the fishing vessels were the modern fleet of scallopers from McAllister fisheries of Oban. A few million pounds worth of vessels with the newest of the fleet Star of Jura OB 278 along with the Star of Annan OB 50, Rois Mhairi OB 45 and the Golden Promise.

Also in harbour the aux tender Tormentor.

Now now cheneral ye missed this http://www.trawlerphotos.co.uk/forums/s ... d.php?t=48

what did i miss? i knew i'd seen a list somewhere but thought it was on a different site, i knew the poacher turned gamekeeper would jump in ala taylor with both feet, over the top if he got the chance, but i'm too silky for him, besides i was blethering to georgejacks young fla at 3am this morning, thats a bonnie wee boat he has, reminds me of another vessel, except that he's a lot cleverer than her skipper, i'll leave plenty room for the "wouldn't be hard" comments, but don't all rush in to post at once. i'm getting addicted to that site, nearly as good as having a VHF in the hoose. all it needs is my wee freen with the dodgy hernia from doon the back of the seventh green to join and i'd be happy as a grunter in man-yur, COMEBACK!!!
