Just seen a weather warning on the Met Office web site for severe gales and
heavy rain with gusts to 60-70 mph. Seems an unusually strong storm for
August - more like what you would expect during Autumn/Winter (yes I am
aware of the Fastnet storm). It will be interesting to see if it verifies.

Having spent the week at sunny Sidmouth and followed with interest the
movements of the MSC Napoli (front end !) round the bay as the tugs
learnt how to handle her/it, she finally left on Thursday afternoon
for a ? five day voyage to Belfast.

Supposedly in a five day weather window.

Friday, Saturday, Sunday,Monday, Tuesday !!

I hope she makes good time or it might be interesting for some Irish
Sea beach.
