Hi Brian
City of Lutece may also have delayed sailing due to fog, Lyme Bay was due to dock but also abandened it also there not that a lot of space was available at Northumberland Quay.
Our boats reported fog right up and down the coast and up to 30 mile offshore.
I was up at Newcastle quay this morning and when Tuxedo Junction was passing under the Mellenium bridge when a little girl next to me asked her father 'daddy,' why is the ship going the wrong way!
Daddy relies, cause it won't go through the gap side ways!

hi Mike,
The maltby and the rowangarth were moored up alongside the greek tug when I turned up at the Mill Damm, I had just been down the A1, what I heard on the VHF was that the tug skippers and the skipper off thePantodynamos decided that it was a no go, the 2 river tugs then went up to Riverside Quay to wait for The City Of Lutece, the pilot managed to get aboard and then decided to send the ship to anchor and also went on the phone to VTS , for some reason!!!!!!?
?? he then took about hour before he reboarded the pilot boat!!!
It seams to me that there is something wrong with the ship(City of Lutece) to me. What do you think?[/quote] :-) :-)
