Memories of Hogmanay 83 when it failed to sail from Ullapool because it was so bad and we had to spend the night on it. Set sail in seas like that on New Year's Morning - Sunday believe it or not. The Iolaire was mentioned several times on the crossing. What a great night though.
Meant to say - essential for survival to have a pint of heavy and a bacon and egg roll when it was like that. It was always entertaining to see the bodies lying everywhere watching you enjoy the roll and a pint.
Ha many a happy trip spent on the Suilven. The views were amazing... Yeah like a scene from the front line, bodies strewn all over the toilet floors :-) You're only hardcore if you eat a full breaky while making this crossing....oh aye...Hardcore but skint!!!

My cousins Hector and Donald Macdonald both worked as engineers on the Suilven and I remember the crossings well.
Hello from Canada!!!
I took this to Stornoway/Ullapool in my first 3 years (1992, Isle of Lewis wasn't built 'til 1995), had no idea it sank in 2015! Damn!
