My poor daughter is at this moment kissing the ground at Cairnryan after suffering an extremely rough sea crossing from Belfast on the super duper new Stena superfast(?) ferry which ran out of bottled water halfway through.

You've clearly never caught the Stranraer - Glasgow train the day before an Old Firm game. That's more or less all they do regardless of the weather.

I don't know how you could stand that Jodie it's bad enough from Belfast to Stranraer never mind any further.
I was being funny (?) with my posts and I know you can't do anything to calm the Irish Sea but still why can't they ;
1. Make the crossing even faster?
2. Make it less expensive - it's a lot of money to pay to be sick on a rough crossing.
3. Build the feckin bridge!!!

As was I, no offence intended.

Worst experience I had on a ferry was from Barra to Oban during a 10 force gale. An experience I hope never to repeat.

I don't do the ferry unless I have to, Bridie. I hate flying but I hate the ferry more. I recently found out there's such a thing as a force 11 so I'm probly never sailing again! :D
