Same ship, same port, different day. Seems that Ardrossan is not the easiest port to get into when there is any sort of weather. From a comment on a page about CalMac ferries and weather, ". . . It was one of those days when the Captain advises you “stay seated” as she makes the right turn...

My post was a response to @Kirkhill's suggestion that M3s be acquired and positioned in each province just in case they "might be useful" if there was a civilian disaster situation that required some sort of wet gap crossing capability. My opinion is that the military should acquire, position...
