As the sky darkens, a red crescent moon appears
Hovering over a misty sea, the crescent moon.
The sea is a millpond, only disturbed by the bow wave of the ferry.

Ha! The captain has told us to ‘expect a rough sea’, but passengers shouldn’t worry as ‘the ship will be fully stabilised’. You can identify those of us who have made this crossing many times before by our rueful grins.

A panoramic shot with an erratic rock left from the last ice age in the foreground. High wispy clouds are in the centre and Loch Broom is in the mid ground. Heather surrounds the rock and a prominent hill is on the left of the shot, dwarfing a single white house.
