Those wanting to see what the Faroes can be like at bad times, google "Smyril" or "Norrona" to see either of those ferries in rough seas.
We were there in May, so maybe July is better. Will deafo return one day!
Totally know what you mean about the ferries in rough seas - my husband is a nautical officer that sails all across the atlantic all year round. He often sends me some "interesting" videos of the weather they experience
