Shipping out Sunday night my boat was late, anyhow sat down eating babies heads in the restaurant and the talk was the Spirit of France had hit the dock at Dover, the Captain did his announcements and adds they are now running a four boat service.
Anyone see this happen/know anything about it?
Anyone who Dosnt use ferries the Spirit of France is a 50,000 tonne ship, it would have made quite a bang.

My cousin is a Master (captain) on one of the big boats .He reckons banging the wall is a regular happening , demolishing the ramp is however frowned upon.

Update, I'm not entirely sure which Spirit boat it was, but it was only out of service a day or so, the same could be said of Dock 9 Dover which got the good news.
