Just a reminder folks, today 17.15 (quarter past five:D) TV3. it's on.

Atlantic Dawn

Watched it on the player, it's a really odd time to put the show on at, should be 8-9pm.

wonder if the harbour master contacted the RCYC/sailing clubs to give out about being in the way of the cruise ship

what exactly qualifies Cork as a 'mega port' as opposed to actually being a tiny one on a world scale?

Looks like someone needs to learn a little geography, Cork harbour is the second biggest natural harbour in the world.
I can't help the typical TV3 dramatisation though

Storm 10

I thought Poole was one if not the biggest natural harbour, defiantly over the top carry on by TV3, what about Southampton it is a huge port

yeah, google had that pretty high up and the one of the first links blew it out of the water completely, it isn't remotely near the biggest.

That aside, a large natural harbour thats 99% unused and an actual Port are substantially different things.
