Oosterschelde

With apologies for the not-so-level horizon in this pic.
Schooner Oosterschelde, a Dutch sailing ship, leaving Stornoway harbour this evening. She is a regular sight in the summer, as she cruises the waters of western Scotland. Last year at this time, her departure was followed by a tornado passing over Stornoway - leaving a trail of damaged houses, uprooted trees and overturned vehicles in its wake. This year, the weather just stayed the same: unsummerlike.
