04/08 22:30 - Just had Rescue 117 fly over the house. Appears to be hovering over Stena Adventurer which has come down south of Greystones.

Covid certs and the statement that one didn't have symptoms of Covid

Hi A83, Is this just a form / statement you fill out on the boat?

Thanks

Underway

Pictures of Isle of Inishmore's Modifications in Odense have appeared.

Any links to them available? Thanks

Stena Europe is still in Fishguard

Just entering Belfast Lough now @ 18/05 08:20

For someone like me who has never had the opportunity to see behind the scenes I found that interesting.

Had to make an essential journey to Rosslare area today so got a picture.

finally free!

the flag on the funnel is the wrong way round

How come , it appears to be running the same way on both sides as it should !

Flag always appears to slope up from left to right. On one side of Bluestar 1 it is sloping down from left to right. See comparisons in attached.

Great spot  ;D Just port side? Starboard is correct?

How do you refloat a ship somewhere like that? The article talks about tides, but, it's a canal (and doesn't look like they can raise the water level a lot). I assume the only option is to lighten her (take-off boxes)?

In other new, I personally feel a lot better about the first time I failed my driving test for not doing a good job of the 3 point turn. Least I didn't hold up world trade like.

She is dug right into the bank. I'd say it will take a while to get moving again.

Seems to be mixed reports what actually happened. Some say the wind, others say engine failure.

Suez has been blocked for over 24hrs now. But some of the online commentary is funny. Ship is operated by a Chinese company, so apparently this is just the latest step by China for world domination! #TinfoilHats

There must be large numbers of continental drivers now stuck in the UK who might consider a reroute through Ireland. Not to mention the Irish drivers who were just passing through and now need a direct route.
