Turning again now. Still reporting Nice as destination on ais. Odd.

Sems like they've recovered their MOB (or BOB perhaps) and have turned around again and are back on track for Villefranche.

Heard aboard the Admiralengracht…. 'Sorry captain, I thought I saw a Fairline squadron 78 heading straight towards us!'

Maybe, although I can see the Sq78 that you're referring to from where I'm sitting now, so it must have been a doppelganger...Anders_P42

I saw it leaving last Friday night, forgot to post the pictures. Sorry for the bad quality.

It's here - arrived about an hour ago, and is currently tied up to the outer cruise ship buoy.

Is that a Delta 80 on the deck? jfm, is there something you've forgotten to tell us???

Yep that's a Delta 80.
The stern-most two boats are already off, and it looks like they are preparing to lift the Targa 62 next.
I imagine you can see it on the Villefranche webcam (altho I haven't checked).

always fun to chase up the mobo A team's threads.
VF camera - with the liftship neatly balanced on a pine tree. That must have taken some good pilotage.

How much (typically) do those boats weigh ? I was idly wondering if there are issues with the sequence of unloading to prevent hogging and sagging.

That's me half way up the pine tree on the right hand side...
The big ship has swung round now and you can see the unloaded boat. No unloading activity apparent at the moment, although the town utility boat is shuttling backwards and forwards between the port and the big ship.
