KERED Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 All sailings cancelled again today. (I wonder if the Manxman will have to head out to sea again to shelter from the storm?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frances Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) I see the Ben has moved to be alongside the KE pier though its ramp is up - the new boat would appear to have scuttled off to safer waters - maybe still with the Korean engineers on board - one comment I was told was that some of the trouble with maneuvering in Heysham was there is a significant delay in response between the bridge and the engines responding. now it has returned to the Victoria pier Edited January 23 by Frances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.K. Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Plodding between Fleetwood and Anglesey again. What a waste of fuel. Why can't they anchor in Dulas Bay like a fair few do already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
