All at Sea.....

17 June 2012-06-17


0900 assembled at Ringwood for the final flap about what to pack and were it should go. Finally hit the road at 10am and headed for Plymouth – David lead for this leg – testing the power of his new Triumph 1200 Explorer. The journey OK except for the mass of “Sunday Drivers” and Caravans….. aaaarrrgggghhhhh That is something that Clarkson was right about !!

Arrived at Plymouth in good time for the Ferry… Looks like hundreds of bike getting on board… We happy watching the parade and smiling as a sports biker stopped in the queue and forgot put a foot down – what a crash (Gaffer Tape required over there)…

All at Sea.....

Now sitting on-board sipping beer and reading MCN…. Rui has gone off to find a book having entertained us with the complete blow by blow story of how machines can pluck-f**k-and cut up chickens….. very graphic….. but awesome machines just like poetry – apparently…. I am now looking forward to another beer and something to eat…. See you later..

Next morning – drinking tea just outside the Piano Bar ! We have been so lucky with the weather – the sea has been like a millpond all the way…. After a couple of pints to aid sleep with hit the sack at about 9pm and slept through until 7.30.

Not sure when I will be able to post this Blog – there is WiFi on the ship but that £5.00 per hour.. So I will be looking out for a McDonalds en route today….
