Brave or Absolutely Nuts!!!!

This is our ferry setting off to the mainland this afternoon (taken at the top of my camera's zoom capability so a bit grainy I'm afraid!)

This is the shipping forecast:

Shipping Forecast - Issued: 1130 UTC Sun 07 Nov
Wind: Mainly southerly becoming cyclonic 7 to severe gale 9, occasionally storm 10, perhaps violent storm 11 for a time later, becoming mainly easterly 6 to gale 8 later.
Sea State: Very rough or high.
Weather: Rain or squally showers.
Visibility: Moderate or poor.

Can't believe they are sailing - wouldn't get me on that ferry today for anything!
