Fantastic painting, of a special vessel. It would look great under the Christmas tree eh @Jim ? 🙄

A new ferry terminal is to be constructed in the Malia area of the town in order to accommodate larger vessels. It will also allow greater security and the valuable city centre land to be developed. More: https://www.eldiariomontanes.es/santander/revilla-fija-2020-20181105213144-nt.html

Last nights BBC Spotlight featured the start of the race (with some filming from onboard the Pont-Aven). You can watch the report on iPlayer until 7pm this evening. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0bqlt9c/spotlight-evening-news-05112018

Great pics, thanks for sharing. Was similar conditions when she was there in 2014 - I remember having to hold on to the railings on deck!

A new onboard communications contact for Brittany Ferries: https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2018/11/faster-on-board-wifi-and-mobile-data-coming-to-brittany-ferries.html

Earlier in the week the Celebrity Constellation broke free from her moorings due strong winds in the port of La Spezia, Italy. She made contact with the Costa Magica, but thankfully no injuries or serious damage resulted.

This video reveals all! Looks promising!

A little late in reporting this, however there is a small photographic exhibition by Isabelle Brunet currently onboard the Bretagne. Her work can be seen on deck 9, directly before accessing the outside decks. Certainly worth a look if you find yourself onboard. http://isabelle-brunet.photo/2018/05/20/exposition-ferries/

Pont-Aven, Cap Finistère and Armorique are fitted with stern thrusters.
