Thursday, maybe? It's due in Rosyth on Friday afternoon.

Doing just under 8 knots SW of Mull and Tiree at the moment.

I'm surprised they're so far offshore.



I was thinking that, having come out of the Clyde, neither the barge or the tugs must have a particularly large draft.

I'm guessing they'll be going to the east of Lewis.

I think there's some nasty rocks in that area, so they're giving Skerryvore lighthouse a wide berth.

According to one of the ship tracking sites, it's due in Rosyth at 15:30 tomorrow, I might need to go for a nosey!
