five Wightlink ships in Solent at same time

Vow waiting to dock at fishbourne (hope she fits 😀)see her doing 13.8 knots earlier (empty)

The timetable changes from October so that must be the end game when she will be fully in service

https://www.islandecho.co.uk/wightlinks-new-30million-ferry-to-arrive-in-the-solent-on-friday/. Her complete timetable is on here

https://iwradio.co.uk/2018/08/09/wightlinks-victoria-of-wight-arrives-off-the-island/. Video and pictures here ..1145 tomorrow arrival Portsmouth

Apparently going in to Pompey in the morning.there is a picture on Twitter of her at anchor off Ventnor on iow radio twitter feed

Looks like tomorrow at 10am if they keep current speed

Possibly changing track

Might bring her in during darkness

Several places have banned coaches for the reason you state 56 people come in already well fed and watered spend about £4 between them all and then deter normal tourists and locals so the only option was no coaches allowed and one p,lace I know that did this has increased their takings considerably

Seems to of got a move on lol

She has gone a lot quicker than I thought 8.7 knots sometimes so early fri is looking a good bet now

I estimate fri early afternoon it’s hard to be exact as she has gone from ais

A lot of cafes have closed or have taken major revenue drops especially in Ryde as tourist numbers haved dropped a lot the tourists that manage to get over by car find car parking over here is expensive as well .
