Gale set to disrupt ferry     16/1/13

An incoming gale affecting Uist and Barra may result in ferry disruptions. Delays to the MV Clansman’s sailings for Castlebay and Lochboisdale are expected on Thursday afternoon and Friday.

Heavy winds and high seas are predicted from a forecast Force 7 or 8 gale may hamper the vessel.

Cal Mac said the timetable may be delayed due to a forecast of south easterly winds gusting to 53 knots.

Meanwhile, adverse weather delayed Wednesday’s run from Castlebay to Oban.
