Ship of the day

[Ginger Yellow]

Nothing special today, just another cruise liner, but I'm rarely around when they leave port:

[ursus arctos]

Asphalt Splendor is a name one can conjure with

[Sits]

[San Bernardhinault]

The Roosevelt and Lincoln both in today:

[Ginger Yellow]

The Johan de Witt is back:

[Wouter D]

We just walked by a boat named "Shake the Disease". We sincerely hope its owners informally refer to it as the Depeche Boat.

The lunchtime ferry from Fishguard to Rosslare sets off for its 4 hour voyage across the Irish Sea.

[Gangster Octopus]

It's forty years since I took that trip.

[Paul S]

A couple of years ago Stena and Irish Ferries said they wanted to combine their services from a single ferry port and to provide a service evry six hours or so. It hasn't happened given the choice of Pembroke Dock or Fishguard I presume they would go for Fishguard.

I'm due to take the Manxman from Heysham Port to the IOM in a few weeks time, I'll see if I can get a decent photo.

The Fugro Explorer survey vessel is visiting us, perhaps sheltering from the coastal storms

Remembering this evening the crew of the Solomon Brown lifeboat who perished on this day in 1981/ Also the crew of the MV Union Star and the family that died with them.

[San Bernardhinault]

I don’t know the name of this boat, but it seems to have a pickleball court on the foredeck which is a novelty to me,

[ursus arctos]

Might also be padel, I guess.

Joe Lewis' boats had squash and paddle ball courts below decks.

You could see them when the hatch opened to allow the watercraft out.

A few years north of Boston can do this to a man.
