At least the fire suppression works. Getting a bit overexcited happens to the best of us. soap blocks should have come down from the deck head similar to oxygen masks in an aircraft , then everyone could have had a shower and felt refreshed , I wonder if they have managed to recruit the second electrical engineer that was spoken about , its obviously too much technical work for one man to deal with , 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emesde Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I think most of these problems will be easy to resolve once an English translation of the ships operating instructions have been received. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wise words. ~60 years ago I was caught out on the old lady of man (I think) in 65mph, she was a great boat, sadly so rough even dogs were hurling.

I really like storms, especially going out walking in them. And yet so far, this one is just another windy night with a few heavy showers of rain so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wright Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Interesting little gap in sailings in early March. IoM HEY at 19.45 on Monday 4th. Nothing then until IoM HEY 19.45 on Thursday 7th. Word is Mx is going in to dry dock on 5 & 6, and no decision has been taken about what will replace her. Presumably she’ll sail light to Birkenhead, overnight on 5/3 and then to IoM on morning/afternoon of 7/3. If so that’s a very short dry docking.

As a student, I did sailings from Peel, before the Douglas breakwater provided shelter, down the west coast, dash to North Wales, along the coast, across the Dee and in to the Mersey. 10 hours, I recall. Really up and dow, side to side, tea cups flying. Those trips were on, mainly, Lady, Mona’s Queen, Ben and the Maid. Uncomfortable, but fun. Once I did a Dublin trip. Down the east coast, sheltered from the storm, and round Chicken Rock. Then the Lady hit the storm. Struggled on an hour and then the Captain decided to turn and return. 8 hour storm tossed day trip to nowhere. That was the Lady, after half a deck of passenger accommodation had been removed and the car deck extended. Much more uncomfortable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
