Geography
Whalsay, also known as "The Bonnie Isle", is a peat-covered island in the Shetland Islands. It is situated east of the Shetland Mainland and has an area of . The main settlement is Symbister, where the fishing fleet is based. The fleet is composed of both pelagic and demersal vessels. Other main settlements include, Clate, Isbister, Sandwick, Saltness, Huxter, Challister, Marrister, North Park and furthest north is Skaw.The island is fertile and fairly densely populated, with crofting taking second place to fishing as the main local industries. There is little peat on the Out Skerries, so the residents there have been granted rights to cut in on Whalsay. and the settlement of Sodom where Hugh MacDiarmid lived in the 1930s and early 1940s.
Whalsay is the main location of Ann Cleeves's novel 'Red Bones' (Macmillan, 2009), the third of her Shetland quartet.

We have actively studied the questionable nature of the official version of what happened to our nation on September 11, 2001.Throughout the 1st year after 911 we ignored and did not believe those who asked us to question the official story.Like millions of Americans we believed America had been attacked by terrorists from abroad. Sadly, we are now convinced that rogue elements within our government committed a vicious criminal act against its own citizens for the larger purpose of swaying us to support both domestic and foreign policies mapped out in the late 1990's. 911 was Hitler's Reichstag fire of 1933 and Roosevelt's Pearl Harbor masterfully coordinated to achieve the desired ends of an imperialistic role for America in the world, patriotic support at home and the erosion of our constitutional rights. In a nutshell,the war on terrorism is a cruel hoax by a misguided, out-of-democratic control small group of individuals sabotaging the best of our values the World over!

This Video was taken during the first week of January 2008. We had made the decision to suspend the service, Had great difficulty tying up the Hendra with the wind blowing off the pier. Then the Docor called needing to put a patient to Hospital by ambulance. The Linga made another crossing because of this. The wind was South Easterly force 9-10, or 40 to 40 knots gusting higher, with the forecast for increasing winds. I have other videos taken the same day taken on the windward side of Whalsay, at Clett and Isbister.

Fivla arriving at Symbister, Whalsay
This is the spare SIC ferry Fivla seen arriving at Symbister harbour. The Normal ferry Linga was away for its annual refit. This vessel is much smaller, and very manoeuvrable as can be clearly seen here. I worked on this boat and the Bigga, for 18 months when I was Skipper on the Bluemull Sound ferry service. This is one of the older class of ferries built off Norwegian designs, which traffic levels have long outgrown.
