Satellite tracking has picked up two longboats which have left Arran and seem to be on course to the Shiant Islands. They are apparently powered by ten oarspeople assisted by huge woollen knitted sails in a wide range of colours. Ferries and other shipping are warned of the danger of getting their propellors fouled with the wool which is of a sturdy construction.
Similarly shipping is asked to look out for a 44gallon barrel last seen entering the sea at the mouth of the Auchenshuggle Canal. The barrel is carring one passenger and a cargo of pasties.
Torrow night's sailing of the Muineag is a record breaker. There are 2400 women booked on board for the Ullapool Stornoway crossing and the crew have asked for danger money and Arnish Lighthouse has boarded his house up.
More bulletins to follow.
