i love hearing your orcadian accents because my family havent got really broad orcadian accents cos we hav lived on the mainland of scotland for sooo long! i have been on the boat so many times and you know what i find, there is always a JBT lorry on at the same time!

Understandable. I've been on a rougher crossing from Aberdeen to Lerwick, this was on the MV Hjaltland. The swell must of been approaching 8 meters at times. All I remember was fittings coming lose etc. Believe me cars and lorries were being strapped down to the deck that night!

Why isn't anything strapped down in the car deck?!

@4thdreamer Hi there, the big lorries were strapped down but the cars just sit on their handbrakes. Car alarms were going off all over the place and the crew made regular checks to make sure that everything was secure. I was a purser on a cross channel ferry for several years and it was one of the roughest crossings that I've ever had. The Pentland Firth really lived up to its reputation!

because it was reversed on. The dock at the other side rises and falls to accommodate the tides and it is more practical to reverse lorries on so that they can be driven off forwards
