Since the start of this season, I have been intrigued to see huge queues of ships anchored in the E. Solent (or Nab approaches) as never before (sometime a dozen at anchor), presumably waiting for a berth in Southampton? Yet the port itself doesn't look particularly full. In the current climate, the crew generates all sorts of rumours as to the explanation, the latest being that each freighter/tanker might have to undergo a precautionary (anti-terrorist) inspection which takes loads of time, hence the queue......
I suspect there is a simpler, more innocent explanation so if anyone has the answer to this weather-rail debate it would be gratefully received!
