the ferry in question was sold by Washington State Ferries to Tanzania because they rolled too much in open water. WSF were so keen to get rid of them they posted them on E-Bay

That doesn't bode well for getting breakfast in a hurry!!!

Isn't that on the wrong side off the Harbor anyhow? And besides, there's a McD's right near Sainsburys, were we can fill my Panniers with... erm, refreshments...

We went to the Captains Table for brekkie last year and it was very good. I'm happy with McDs or at a push can even get brekkie on the boat.

Edit: I seem to remember from previous experience that if you're near a member of crew, they get very uppity if you start calling their vessel a boat. Apparently it's a ship

Davy, there will be enough time for brown and yellow stuff. Don't worry!

And I've got a hip flask now too.

Yes, yes it's got whisky in it. Although now SWMBO is nervous about Lelly and whisky occupying more or less the same space.

She won't believe that. She doesn't think it'll get to HPC without being drunk
