Some more water.... after going to sleep at 4.20am.. having to wake up again to leave at 7.40am... here were a few we got in the morning... but it was drizzling by then... at 60° north.

Nasty list you have there. Suggest someone goes down to the bilges and checks you aren't flooding....

:p

A car transporter left Southampton a couple of years back, in a similar condition, and it could have gone horribly wrong if they hadn't had the sense to drive it onto a sandbank.

Also, you'll need to make the custard extremely thick to avoid it overspilling. Or fit gimbals to the galley tables.

:o

Haha!

Yes!

It already has a lovley gimble in the galley. Tables are just non-skid.

And great eye for the list...!

That is 70 tonnes of uneven balast as they rotate and empty tanks, to move a few tonnes of fuel around, cleaning and inspecting tanks, with empty tanks contributing far more to buoyancy than fully ballasted ones... so I'm reassuringly told. ..........

Prior to dry docking, the list was slightly to starboard. This list is 3°-4° to port. And very noticeable!

I assure you it didnt go unnoticed at the time. I'll PM you a picture of maxumim list-effect.

But the guys assured me it was a side effect of intentional activity.

But i wait with enthusiasm to see it corrected.

Visited the bilges... dry and empty apart from one... where they were still washing and working internally.
