When the technical issues were resolved the convoy prepared to continue moving just after 3pm.

However by that time the wind had picked up above the safe limit and that, coupled with the approaching end of daylight hours the decision was taken to remain.

The journey will resume at 9.30am this morning, weather permitting.
