I am brand new here, like brand new today.
There's very little about this case on the internet - all routes out to Lerwick are overnight, and there are several choices of sleeping somewhere private or in public depending on your booking.
From what I've read it appears there's no confirmation Martin was seen getting off the boat in the morning. This isn't expressly said anywhere but nothing is worded as if that's the case.

Hey!
I have to say I was a little naive to how many people are missing at any one point in time, and this afternoon has already been an eye opener. In this case there's very little media coverage at all - which is very sad.

Until i started posting on Ws i also had no idea about the very high number of missing people here, there and everywhere, any bit of attention helps the missing, and all who miss them, imo.
