Ship spotting from on board "DEAL SEAWAYS"

Today was my second trip this year on the DFDS/LD LINES ship "DEAL SEAWAYS", my old friend "BARFLEUR" of BRITTANY FERRIES. My crossing was the 9am from Calais to Dover, very windy and rainy day with the ship needing help from a local tug to slip her moorings, the weather improved a lot and just half an hour from our arrival to Dover I was able to go back where I belong, on deck with my camera and ready for ship spotting, above some of the photos registered today, 6.10.2012. From top to bottom, "DEAL SEAWAYS" at sea followed by the P&O FERRIES, PRIDE OF BURGUNDY, approaching Dover, sailing vessel, SPIRIT OF BRITAIN on her way out of Dover and cruise ship BRAEMAR.

Ferries and tugs at Barcelona

Barcelona is not just about cruise ships and freight, there´s always plenty ferries using the port as well as other vessels like tugs, wonderful for ships enthusiasts

Southampton water, always busy with shipping

Southampton on a good sunny day is a must for ship´s enthusiasts, there´s loads of spots for ship spotting, I am a great admirer of Calshot, here are some photos dated the 3rd September

anglers and ship spotters at Calshot

On my way back from France last week I have once again sailed into Portsmouth, Southampton was just round the corner and on the 3rd of September four cruise ships were there and the weather was sunny, so I went to Calshot end of the afternoon to photograph the cruise ships, there´s always loads of onlookers, anglers and ship spotters as the images witness.
