emmas gran Posted October 24, 2020 #1 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I live in the South West of the UK a mile from the sea on the south coast, so the view can be very nice as its on a hill. There are 5 or 6 cruise ships moored in the bay, 4 HAL and 1 P&O we aren't sure what the other one is as it's further out to sea. At night it is a lovely sight when they are lit up, only wish we were on one of them 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get a photo..please share! Its a horrible day with 50 mph winds, when it improves will try for photo. . It is just a hang out spot , they move along the coastline to different areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmas gran Posted October 24, 2020 Author #8 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) mac_tlc There is now a Naval ship by my little fleet it is on/near Berry Head side. Any idea what it is? Edited October 24, 2020 by emmas gran addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkesbaynz Posted October 24, 2020 #9 Share Posted October 24, 2020 This was our labrador puppy down on the beach in Dorset a few weeks ago. A fine selection of ships in the background. We see them in Southampton dock occasionally too. Missed Apex but heard her 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oceangoer2 Posted October 24, 2020 #12 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) Guilty of 'screen time'.... not much more to do in Covid times.

emmas gran Posted October 24, 2020 Author #16 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Those little boats are fishermen going to sea But see Essiesmoms post re the Naval ship Thanks EM, we live next to the sea but rarely find out what is sailing nearby ?iz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downsmead Posted October 25, 2020 #17 Share Posted October 25, 2020 We visited the Isle of Wight recently. We have sailed by on many occasions to and from Southampton but had never been there. We were at the most western point, called The Needles and you could see the ships in Torbay and Weymouth in the distance. I must admit, I downloaded one of the maritime tracking apps to see which ships they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandgeezer Posted October 26, 2020 #19 Share Posted October 26, 2020 The way the virus is coming back, full force, you probably are going to see them for several more months. That’s if they aren’t put into cold storage or scraped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redrobo Posted November 3, 2020 #21 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Posted these photos on Royal Caribbean forum. I was down on Poole Quay just over an hour ago. This tender is from Allure, they tied up to pick up a parcel . The ship is anchored in Poole/Bournemouth bay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmas gran Posted November 3, 2020 Author #22 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Yesterday my little little fleet disappeared, I believe they went to Fowey or Falmouth to refuel and/ or re stock supplies Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
