I recently went on a ferry trip from Oban to Lochboisdale & Barra aboard CalMac's MV Clansman. It was a quite rough voyage due to very strong Southerly-West winds. This is me videotaping the vessel hitting waves head-on around 20 mins after it left Lochboisdale for Barra. Near to the end of the video, the ferry hit 2 huge waves in quick succession which caused the vessel to pitch heavily and go over the waves quite high. I was perching on top of a seat when this happened, and at this point I realised the ferry was about to come down quite heavily so I had to quickly sit down! Big respect to CalMac crew who often has to work in these weather conditions!
