… and finally

It’s Tuesday 26th January 2016 and the ferry is disrupted again by the weather. However, we were quite surprised to see this message from CalMac on Twitter:

UPDATE@1340: Ardrossan – Brodick Car marshalling area is flooding and at least 30 minutes until high tide. Lanes 1 to 5 under several feet of water.

Several feet of water on the car marshalling area would mean ArCaS, the ferry office and the Pier Garage would all be flooded, so we had to go and get a photo. Ah, the water’s not quite several feet deep then, but just a few inches! However, we do wonder if CMAL has factored the high tide into the design of the new car marshalling area.
