      The head of the canal authority estimates that it will now take three and a half days for traffic to return to normal

        It turns out they've freed the stern section but the bow is still in the bank. Hopefully they'll free that soon as well.

          I think it's properly been unstuck now.

            Hooray, they've unblocked it!

            A giant ship blocking the Suez Canal for nearly a week is finally free, the Egyptian authorities say.

                Boris would have announced plans for "Suez 2" by now.

                  That’s just Brexit, isn’t it? Eh? Eh? Little bit of political satire there, ladies and gentlemen.

                      Ideally you'd see the boat veering wildly into the bank in the background while they celebrate for the full You've Been Framed experience.

                        This is a good piece on what we know and don't know about what happened

                            That’s F.A.B.

                              And it's going to be seized as part of the compensation negotiations

                                FF and I are currently looking out (from opposite sides) upon the super yacht Odessa, which may or may not belong to oligarch Len Blavatnik

                                  I noticed it tonight when I took the boy for his post-prandial stroll.

                                    The BABA'S superyacht is parked outside and Peter is not happy about it. He's barking at it furiously and I think the translation is something along these lines, "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY RIVER".

                                      Peter has had it with ostentatious displays of wealth

                                          HMS Albion apparently.

                                            The port authority barge has been there for a few weeks so I was expecting a cruise ship. I'd forgotten how noisy the boats are.

                                              What’s the little glass dome in the bottom right GY?

                                                It is the entrance to the Greenwich Foot Tunnel

                                                    The "luxury expedition super yacht" Contina is here now. I can't find who owns it, only that it's not for charter. This is a photo from the internet--the actual boat looks like it needs a new paint job.
