Amber II with HMS Plymouth is about 20 miles away from Lisbon, it has got closer to the coast about 10 miles off, I wonder if it's stopping at Lisbon services for a bit of diesel and the toilets, it's still only half way to Turkey and is due on the 7th of next month, HMS Plymouth is lost from being saved and will end up at the scrappy long before anything can be done, besides it's on the high seas with a foreign owner and I don't think it will stop at Gibraltar just to be arrested.

She'll be back.

Let's face it, she is being scrapped in Turkey, them most probably recycled in China, then sold back to us as cheap Chinese goods laugh

Amber II with HMS Plymouth is about 25 miles past Lisbon doing 6knots, so I think that they will reach the straits of Gibraltar by tomorrow night.

Amber II with HMS Plymouth is about 20km away the Aliaga scrappy from AIS, I expect she will be left with the scrappy while we sleep,.

Amber II with HMS Plymouth is at the Aliaga scrappy it looks as if she is waiting permission as AIS track shows it doing big circle at two knots.
