That's the Pride of Calais, which is operating a freight-only service at the moment. At quieter times P&O lay-up off Shakespeare Beach. I'm told that in late March when the Spirit of Britain goes off to have her vibration problem sorted POC will return to full service.
The first scheduled crossing of the Spirit of France did appear to be a bit of a non-event. However, yesterday the weather was indeed dull, misty and very cold - and look at it this morning .... lovely!.
