    Loading "operations", the first attempt (or second if you consider the first HLV that grounded in Ros a Mhíl" didn't go exacty according to plan as you can see in that photo album.

    Both of them are still going strong in running between Mayotte and Comoros islands, NW of Madagascar in the Indian ocean.

    I went out to Rossaveal to see the Pantanal when she arrived, storm blew up that night and she dragged her anchors and went aground, Tug Celtic Isle towed her off the rocks and she anchored off Salthill where divers inspected her hull for damage before heading off for repairs, It was sad to see the two Ferries going away they were fast and nice inside and owned by a lovely family.

    Less chat, more porn!

    Viking Grace aground in Finland last weekend. It's though the wind broadside was too strong, and the channel too narrow for her engines and thrusters to keep her in deep water. No injuries and no leaks.

    In Ireland i always found MarineTraffic the best and worth the small subscription, some areas used to be not 100% covered as they didn't have hosts but it seems to be perfect now.

    Marine traffic has the added bonus of a lot of people uploading pics of the vessels.

    She's up for sale/disposal. Ex Dover-Calais ferries struggle to find buyers in the lower end of the ferry market due to having few cabins and particularly the lack of ramps which is an expensive retrofit.

    Pride of Dover/Calais went straight to the scrappers at 26 years of age.

    Looks to be lots of ongoing maintenance on them, you can see the Queen Mary 2 has lots of patches of fresh paint on the hull. I suppose they are all sitting idle now for nearly a year, no point in fully dry docking until they know travel restrictions are lifted.

    I was on the previous ship the G.O. Sars, that was pretty plush, I wonder what the facilities are like on the new one.

    Fantastic to see the incredible Tom Crean finally being honoured.
    Although, I do hope that they (unlike the Naval service) consulted his family first.

    When did the Naval service name a ship after him?

    They didn't, sorry for the confusion. When they announced WB Yeats they hadn't consulted his estate. although i'm sure it wouldn't have been an issue.

    Yes, was up in Auckland for the weekend, went down Friday to wander around the village and caught some of the boats on the way out.
    Watched it in the village. Saw the racing from very distant on the ferry back from Waiheke island on Saturday as well.

    The size of some of the super yacht tied up was just insane. All registered in George Town of course ;) So much for a closed border...
