david Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Is it passenger trips? Seems a bit odd on a cold Tuesday in October. Or are they testing something... she's pelting round at 24 knots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sha Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Oh yeah that was it! Thanks for the quick answers. Some of the people are a little "scared2 by rough sea. Seeing that it's such a big ship will certainly comfort them. PMSL - you'd better not watch the clips on youtube then of the ferry in rough weather. I can't find any http://www2.glamour.de/glamour/glamunity/forum/images/smiles/eusa_shifty.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 That's the Hamavoe, sails between Scrabster and Orkney, slightly smaller than the Shetland boats... but you get the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sha Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 yeah I get the idea. I came across this video. But that seems to be New Zealand. I like the comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unlinkedstudent Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 ^^Don't you dare! I watch the ferry every night and so far, I've only seen it once look a tiny bit going up and down. Err what time of year did you say you were coming up though? No, go on, come up and enjoy the delights of Shetland ... ... if the ferry is a tad poo, just put it down to experience!

david Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Na, I wouldn't worry about it.Chances are you'll get a fine trip up. And if not, it's all part of the experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sha Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I'm kidding! Hey I'm German I'm tough! http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/e006.gif I'm coming in January for the Up-Helly-Aa and I'm less worried for myself than for my firends. One of the girls has never been on a ferry. I already experienced extremely rough sea while bringing my car to the UK last year. Never seen the massive Ferry crossing from France to England rocking so badly. It took over 2 hrs instead of 1! I must admit I'm much more worried about Flybe cancelling our flights on the way back because a rice grain fell into a bag in Mongolia...

Infiltrator Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Yep, on the plus side for you it's closer to Germany than Aberdeen is. The circumstances were pretty exceptional, combination of high wind, swell and low tides at Aberdeen. It must've been the St Clair, the previos ferry, operated by P&O, pretty sure it wasn't one of the Northlinks. Northlink are quite sensible about cancelling or delaying sailings due to bad weather.

Sha Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 that's good to know. But Edinburgh will be of no use since my car will be parked in aberdeen. Ah there pops up another question: is there a car park at the Aberdeen ferry Terminal? we're taking the ferry to Shetland but flying back and can't decide whether to leave the car at the Airport car park and take the bus to the ferry or the other way round?
