John Wright Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Ooops. Manxman set off for Heysham at 5pm yesterday with an ETA of 5pm today. First 7 hours was spent sailing up and down the coast so it could be in the right time and place for the fireworks at 10.30pm. since then she has been doing Irish Sea trials, handbrake turns, emergency stops, loop the loops, man overboard procedures, figures of 8 across to Heysham. Didnt get in. Not sure if they didn’t want a ding, paint scrape, or it was just too windy to manoeuvre. Now on her way back to Douglas Not an auspicious first Heysham berthing trial.

And now she has turned around and is headed back to Heysham, after getting halfway back to Douglas. Being chased by Ben. No time for a berthing trial this evening.
