The best ship ever in the Cal Mac fleet, many a day I spent on her during the school holidays and on weekends with my father, Kenny Chipy. An absolute fantastic Crew which could never be replaced, they were all like a large family to each other and always made me so welcome. I miss these days and my Dad, God Bless him.

I recall when the ferry arrived in port it was such an event that islanders would go to the pier to welcome her. You were able to go onto the pier regardless of which port she arrived in. Nowadays all that has been taken away which is a great loss to all.
