Normally Tony travels on the ferry to Dunkerque but this route was fully booked so it was Dover to Calais on the Hoverspeed Sea Cat. This did however give an opportunity to check out the ships in Calais. Dunkerque and other vantage points up the coast were visited with many shots taken from Tony�s favourite spot at Terneuzen close to the locks for the Ghent Canal. The ships seen from this vantage point are very varied and come in close to shore enabling good shots without requiring a very long lens. Many slides were also taken of ships in Antwerp on a boat trip around the docks. Several interesting shots were shown of the experimental carousel tug Multratug12 that operates in the area.
All too soon Tony�s trip was at an end, returning to Dover on Hoverspeed Great Britain, the controversial current holder of the Blue Riband of the Atlantic.
Our thanks to Tony for a fine collection of slides and for preparing a well researched commentary in such a short time.
