Did you spot one of the new pick-ups dockside?

I noticed that the Terramare spent Sunday heading up the Bristol Channel to Newport. That concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there's nothing they can't do, now the're in Newport, Newport, Newpooort! :)
Busy busy.
Investors invest in companies that they can see themselves getting a return on. If a company has potential to fulfill that requirement then people will invest their money in it. If not they will go elsewhere. Afterall, it's an investment, not a marriage. Till death do us de-list. :) So what actually happends when there are too few to make it viable. Forceably eject them all and close it down or move them onto another exchange? Are there plans laid down for that eventuality?
According to the guy that runs the Scilly FB page, who does seem to know about this kind of thing, " She could do the trip on a single tank of fuel @12 knots in 8 days - but that is dependant on weather and crew... they are probably going non-stop to destination as long as they have enough food… they will only be burning 200 litres an hour @ 12 knots and she holds 14m3 of fuel…. So would expect to see her in a south coast port before end of month if all goes to plan"

Located that blue building on street view to narrow it down. :)
Yes. Going by the pictures posted on FB she moored up opposite "The Boat Shed" in Penzance. Not sure why all the secrecy at keeping the transponder off and then they go and post pics? Bit of cat and mouse going on with the Steamship Co. I guess. Previously called the Jenna and before that the Arromanches. Lots of pics of her as she was previously on the vessels tracking sites. Even some of her on a Normandy beach.

Just watched the past track since it left port. Sped up, stopped a few times, did some manouvers and accelerated off again. If it starts doing doughnuts then it's porbably been knicked by joyriders. :) If the secrecy they employed to get the Samson from port to port is used then they might not be providing a destination just yet. At least they have the transponder on so it can be tracked as it progresses along its journey. Seems a bit far out from port to be just sea trials.
Yeah, I did see a flooring guy make a comment somewhere about see you Monday. Think it may be just moving to the SRQ for now but may be off on one of it's trips over the border like before. One of the tug in the dock with her now. Not sure if it's a factor but noticed that high tide not till later this evening. Enjoy the game. Can I assume rugby? Maybe stokey will be doing a round-up of all the results later. Be a bit like checking the pools back in the day. :)
Going by the current tug activity around the Belfast dry dock gates it looks like she is on her way out to the SRQ.
The Coralwater, the chemical tanker that has been in and out a few times during her stay is currently out at the anchorage. A quick top up before the off?
I was scrutinising the picture last night that I posted from LSE's Francisco Porras's link. It really is an excelent job, and more impressed if it was done by H&W crew themselves. Not the sort of thing that they would get to do in their normal day to day work I'd imagine. I'd always assumed that they would have to get specialist in for this part of the job. I was looking to see if it was stencil work or freehand. Might be a bit of both, was my conclusion. Anyway, well done indeed.
Would have loved to have seen the live streaming.

Too many Terramares for one day. :)
