  As opposed to the grim weather on Wednesday - the ship looked great in this afternoon sunlight with the Castle as a backdrop

  You must have been very near me Paul. Shortly after the departure of the Windsurf and Ryndam, the Stavros S Niarchos moved over to the Admiralty Pier to take on water prior to departure.
  
  

  

  
  
  This is something you wouldn't see on the Windsurf (unless the computers went down, that is !)

  Wonderful modern technology allowing her to sail the world under bare poles. What a shame she didn't set some canvas before leaving.

  Grand pictures again lads...excellent.
  
  Took this one yesterday, ermmm or was it saturday, when i saw smoke coming out of the rear as you can see. I keep seeing everything catching fire , so i thought oh no not again!. But nothing further materialised so i guess the chef in the galley must just have burnt the sausages.
