    Are the ferries that unreliable they’re making their own way over.

    dWhat about this:



    I remember that the UK Open Laser Championship in 2018 was postponed for a few hours on Wednesday because a UK nuclear sub approached and entered the Plymouth Navy base. No ships and Laser dinghies were allowed in a wide area around the sub until it had docked.

    We all sat on top of Mount Batten and watched it surface just in front of the breaker dam. That was nice to watch!

    Perhaps it was hunting the American carrier that passed through the other day.

    Or De Ruyter's heirs. But De Ruyter pulled his trick on the Medway. The Royal Charles' transom is still displayed in the Rijks Museum in Amsterdam. It's huge! Remember these Spoils of War next time you visit the Rembrandts...

    I was arriving back to our Plymouth marina on Thursday and got a VHF call from the KHM naval harbour master to alter course 'wie' due to a Vanguard class sub Rdeparting from Devonport.
