Load her straight up with all the emergency bog rolls ready to sail the instant the storm has passed. And digestive biscuits, please.

Derek Flint Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Sailed back on the Manxman Saturday day night to avoid the Sunday cancellations. Blimey it is vast. Takes a while to orientate yourself. Some of the layout isn't great and there was nobody in the lounge with the gucci bed chairs. Stairs are steep. Sailed well enough. Quite thumpy in the big waves but smooth. Did seem to take an age to get tied up alongside and discharged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxanne Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 This could be a scurrilous rumour, because, if it were true, Amadeus would already have the video up, but apparently someone has just been helicoptered off the Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellanvannin2010 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I may have missed this but I thought the plan was for the Manxman to do a few weeks of the daytime sailings followed by a few weeks of the nighttime sailings and then take over the whole schedule. It appears though that it has gone back from the nighttime to the daytime sailings again this week. It does seem a somewhat extended bedding in period. Hour late leaving this morning.
