Looks like shes not very well.........

Ship AIS

Anyone planning on coming over from Heysham tonight might be in for a long wait........

Currently drifting aimlessly down the east coast.....

Latest news? Still at sea or in harbour?

Still at sea - latest arrival time is estimated 21:30

OK thank you! See you soon. I'll be over again. Maybe Bjorn Gunnarsson's trailer is onboard old Ben tonight. That's why I ask.

Nothing on Manx Radio or IoM Today

Heading in the right direction now - still slow though

People moan about the higher fares at TT - this is just the Steam Packet way of making sure you get your moneys worth!!

Cylinder head problems. Being worked on at sea

On my AIS it looks that she is close to harbour now.

Coming into the harbour now......

They've found some girl willing to give up her tights to replace the fan belt and all is well... until tomorrow when she wants them back

suppose its just the time of year gotta get the excuess ready for not running at full power
wonder when the last time both boats ran at full power during the busy periods
i can remember a good few years back we were over a hour late setting off from heysham and still docked 10 mins early
just shows what they can do when they want to

0 knots now! In harbour.

What's she like generally ?

We travel on her from Heysham on Sunday 28th and it'll be our first time on her having always bagged Manannan

A little more traditional, and somewhat more leisurely than Manannan I guess but still a nice place to be ?

The PC Police will be waiting for you !

Couldn't care less at the moment.... Was in the office at 7:45 this morning, and I'm still at it at 23:00 - from home now, but still working. Trying to solve a systems problem in Malta

Hope you're not getting paid overtime as from the above posts it would appear that you have spent most of this evening tracking the Ben my Chree and dissing larger ladies.
Don't get your point about larger ladies tights neither, bit like Chris Kinley shouting "they need to take some tension out of that loose chain" surely smaller tights would work better!!!!

Fine. As an IOM resident I usually travel on the Ben two or three times a year and prefer it to Manannan. Ben to Heysham is around 3.5 hours and Manan to LPL is 2.75 hours so there's really not that much in it. The Ben is bigger, more comfortable, has better facilities and you can have a smoke!! Winner all round.
