(Answer, 1 Wales = 54.5 Isle of Wights) I have heard "Belgium" used some times, but that's not quite so useful for a Brit (about 1.5 Wales to a Belgium) Singapore is approximately equal to one IOW, I believe. Honestly, the IOW is used quite a lot for smaller things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the replacement 5 day Coronation Cruise that sold out in a couple of hours last week (as per night per person rates were about 25% of normal prices) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare D&N Posted May 3, 2023 #304 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Nice coincidence. I think MAK61462 has accidentally opened the thread at post #1 and replied to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare D&N Posted May 5, 2023 #314 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I've been looking at where QM2 (and others) are on Marine Traffic from time to time.... I've found one of the ferries on the Newhaven<->Dieppe route quite intriguing. When at sea it always shows: "Navigational Status: Underway by Sail" Here it is: https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:181201/mmsi:228233600/imo:9320128/vessel:COTE_D_ALBATRE I'm not sure where the sails are hidden.

Mercruiser Posted May 6, 2023 #315 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) QM2 is sailing in circles in the English Channel, waiting for the proper time to head for Southampton. Kind of reminds me of every flight I've been on arriving at Heathrow! 😁 Edited May 6, 2023 by Mercruiser 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare D&N Posted May 6, 2023 #316 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Unless there is some other practical reason, like a ship in distress? Or maybe they wanted a closer look at the sailing ship, Tres Hombres. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercruiser Posted May 6, 2023 #317 Share Posted May 6, 2023 The Tres Hombres is a fine looking ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare D&N Posted May 6, 2023 #318 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) I only just noticed. The sister ship of the ferry that claims to be under sail is named Seven Sisters. The overview photo (from June 25, 2007) on MarineTraffic just happens to include another ship with a very distinctive profile: https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/photos/of/ships/shipid:842/shipname:SEVEN SISTERS?order=date_uploaded You need to look at the small photo at top left or go to the first photo published.

Mercruiser Posted May 6, 2023 #319 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) Whoever is at the helm of QM2 does seem to be having a bit of fun. Maybe it's the coronation after-party on the bridge. 🫅👑😄 Edited May 6, 2023 by Mercruiser 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
