Dawn this morning, 7.55am, with the Kilchoan-Tobermory ferry arriving at the CalMac terminal at the end of Pier Road - a photo very similar to the first posted on A Kilchoan Diary on 15th October 2009, here.The village has been without its Vodafone signal ever since the lightning strike on Monday evening. As people who have a Blackberry now know, being without mobile signal is serious stuff, but out here there can be some very profound dangers. Since Vodafone were the first to offer a good connection to West Ardnamurchan, most people have stuck with them, including the fishermen - and mobiles are their way of keeping in touch and, in an emergency, summoning help.
