Just a line to let you know the new P+O ship (Iona) is due at Southampton 16/5 - 25/5. Not bad, she's only a year late!

Thanks for the info, PP. It looks like cruising is starting up again, albeit only around Britain.

Marella Explorer 2 arrived at the Port of Tyne 8/7/21 to begin cruising on the 10th.

She is due to depart at 1pm today - depending at which berth she is at, this is a good "live" site to watch - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-POuJETcKU

This also an associated live site, but as the circus is in town the scene is partially blocked - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZwbyBVbBQs

The Red Funnel terminal is worth watching at any time. The British are well known for queuing - but not those going to the Isle of Wight
Rule 1 - When parking please park your car across the white lines, and leave all doors open before going for a coffee

Good to see cruise ships again albeit only sailing around Britain.

Well spotted on the 'deliberate' mistake.

Dazzle colours! Is there much submarine activity on the Mersey?

Yes yellow ones.

Never saw any submarines (of any colour). Maybe they were under the water. We did not stop long to find out.
