Unfortunately due to work commitments, I could not take the boat to France as planned, so we went for the day on P & O ferries. We came back on the Express catamaran thingy and even tho it was quite foggy, we did not seem to slow down. We did sound the foghorn a few times (but not a lot, three times I think), which was accompanied by a change of course. (i.e. it seemed they only sounded the foghorn when they had a contact on radar and would need to change course). We got back about half an hour late which they blamed on strong tides. This seemed a bit strange on a neap tide weekend on such a fast boat when the maximum tide against us would be about 2 knots. I wondered if this was p & o standard excuse a.k.a. British Rails leaves on the line excuse.
