Exodus from The Solent

[DJE]

A few going south. A lot going west.

I noticed that on Marinetraffic this am and thought it was a bit odd. Have private schools broken up? Must admit I quite enjoy snooping on Marinetraffic.

My Daughter also showed me how to do a screen grab on an iPhone of my AIS track being replayed, which was fun. Obviously you have to take the grab at the end of each day as the track gets deleted from Marinetraffic the subsequent day

I suspect anchorages are going to be crowded in the west country as many will be keeping out of marinas and still be trying to distance as we will be. I just hope I can find space on the harbour drying out at Fareham to antifoul next week and then also will be heading westish.

I see there is still about a dozen cruise ships anchored off Torquay, Weymouth, Bournmouth and IOW. I wonder when they will be off?

No time soon, they have been there ages. Occasionally potter about, but otherwise anchored

Current FCO advice on cruise ships is "Don't Go". So no travel insurance cover for passengers.
