It gets worse, Allan,
This morning, the tanker Senatore was due to follow Promitheas in, about 45 minutes behind it, for Hamble.
I get up at 05:15 and find it is put back to this evening. Well, the weather was rubbish so I went back to bed rather than go all that way to get a silhouette of the Promitheas. Anyway, I can can catch Majestic Maersk and OOCL Long Beach leaving around mid-day Sunday.
Oh no I can't! OOCL Long Beach is already passing Cowes something like 18 hours early!
I see 2 tugs suddenly appeared on the schedule from Ramsgate, just before one of them appeared on AIS; they hadn't featured on the site before this evening.
Worse, Senatore made a brave effort to get up to Hamble, got as far as Spithead and made a U turn and is now heading back to the Nab Anchorage.
Promitheas is due to leave at 12:00 tomorrow. By coincidence, the rain is due to arrive around then!
Did you notice, this evening Arabian Breeze is coming in via the North Channel? That is the first time I have seen any of those car carriers come in that way and it is not a particularly high tide today at only 4m.
