TerryMcCann Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 The Viking has just come in as well and seemingly went over to say hello. Only shock is they didn't crash into each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 in fact Viking was so surprised it (or rather its master) forgot to withdraw its stabilisers and had to abort the run into the harbour + waste 5 minutes in a sighseeing trip. Even then it took 10 minutes + a lot of hammering to get the passenger gangplank into place - does it really require 5 or 6 workers to adjust the gangplank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 does it really require 5 or 6 workers to adjust the gangplank It would be called a blokeplank if it didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempus Fugit Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 any ideas why Viking has been taking a strange route recently, last night it was heading for Maughold Head before a sharp left turn back into port, this morning it headed for Llandudno before turning towards Liverpool, and on the return it went westwards, then again headed for Maughold overshooting Douglas before turning back into port very strange track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skig Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Why is Snaefell (Seacat IOM / Seaexpress) back in dock in Liverpool. Has she sprung another leak? Just looked for her this morning on AIS and find she is in dock in Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manshimajin Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Why is Snaefell (Seacat IOM / Seaexpress) back in dock in Liverpool. Has she sprung another leak?Just looked for her this morning on AIS and find she is in dock in Liverpool. Thanks - I was wondering why she did not make her scheduled sailing from Belfast on Thursday evening - on the whole I prefer to travel on a boat that floats (however exciting the alternative may prove to be) so am happy they substituted the Viking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
