Episode 3

Donnie Mackay joins the heroes who battle through extreme weather. In this episode, Donnie is almost blown off his feet in South Uist, as a Force 12 gale passes through the Hebrides. SSEN engineer Allan MacDonald is unable to make the repairs he planned to make to the main electricity line, but is still out checking for any faults. Donnie also joins home care workers Chrissie Macrae in Stornoway and Flora MacDonald in Uist. Both regularly brave the elements to visit their elderly clients, who appreciate the service they provide. And on Calmac's Loch Bhrusda, skippers Duncan MacGaugan and John Angus Henderson explain just how treacherous the crossing from Harris to Berneray can be in bad weather.
