No. The council website still claims there are no ferry disruptions.

That's probably because they're all out there moving rocks and haven't had a chance to update.
All that rock slid/washed down off the land, not kicked up by waves, right?

I was thinking the other way 'round. Having said that, I have no clue.

Seems like an enterprising kid with a rowboat could make some money offering passenger service.

Rocks shoved across (left to right) by tide/waves.
Enterprising local people with boats were immediately on it, of course. Local busybody was right behind them and called the MCA (Maritime and Coastguard Agency) who said "Oi! You can't do that! Regulations forbid it!!!". Local Council is sending a digger over tomorrow (an annual occurrence, why don't they build a proper breakwater?) and were negotiating with MCA to calm down. But it's still been too windy to cross, most of the time. Hope to be home tomorrow.

Well it is a road, it's the road to the island, it's your only road. Find out who the official is and move into his living room with all your gear... including instruments. Might as well practice while you wait.

A digger has been diligently digging out the channel and the wee ferry can now get in and out if the tide is relatively high.

Even if you don't share your plans, which is difficult, they'll look after your place if you're delayed. The lack of privacy is sometimes exasperating but it's nice to know you home is watched over and the animals are OK. Fargon, I usually use the MAC machine outside but one time I wanted a bigger sum so inside I asked the teller if she wanted a picture ID, and she said no, I have your picture, pointing at her screen. Surprised the shit out of me.

Yes, digr, sorry missed a trick there. Re: pets. I had planned to be away for about three days and asked a neighbour to mind the moggies. She had to be on duty for a little longer, is all. But she wasn’t going anywhere anyway [snigr]. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
