Would appear she will be here for at least a week. The cranes can only be unloaded at high tide and of course weather permitting. Looking at the weekend weather and Mon Tues next week, gales forecast. Hope it all goes well.

Oh heck. Hoping the same doesn't happen here as it did when she was in Felixstowe......due to mooring ropes breaking in strong winds !!

Granny - ouch! Hope nobody was hurt in Felixstowe. What a mess. Lansyp, the shipais website is fascinating - reminds folk how much waterborne business still goes on around our islands. I used it to track the three Queens when they visited.
There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

The thing which makes it look a shambles is the use of the long focus lens, which makes distant things look much closer together than is the case. The distance from the ship with the cranes to the stern of the Ever Grand is 500 metres.
The sun came out late afternoon giving a clearer view of the base of the crane on the quay. It is on its own bogies and just in front of the bogies they have stacked several of the bridge/ramps used to transfer the crane to the quay..
