Cromarty Image Library

First class photo.The copy, bought from you Andrew, I've called CROMARTY, GaleForce 10. In this sea condition, my father Albert, would take the Enterprise along towards Shoremill, and beginning to get small water with the effect of Balblair Point, would cut across to Invergordon. The Royal Mail had to get through!

I remember my Granny, Ena MacLeman, standing at the front window of her house, in Bayview Crescent, watching as the Enterprise made its way to Invergordon. If there was a storm, she never took her eyes off the boat and had a running commentary on the "rollers" (big waves). When Albert and the Enterprise would disappear, for a moment, in a big wave, Granny would exclaim "Oh! the craitur's foonder'd!" We'd all hold our breath till we saw the Enterprise again! The view from Granny's window and her commentary was better than television! I'd like to think that Granny is watching over ME, now!
