I "saw" the new Snaefell set off this morning on the Manx Radio webcam and have been following her progress since on the link below. (I have a half day today !)

I sailed on the Old Snaefell Steamer many years ago before these new-fangled vessels came onto the scene.

The longest ferry trip over that I remember was 6.5 hours, the weather was so very BAD.

I am watching to see the time taken by the new Snaefell !
