    Thanks to all the stupid drivers who made Queensferry High Street even more unnavigable than usual, shouting ans swearing out the windows that the other driver should effin move. Really helped improve the "nice day out by the sea" atmosphere.

    SQ and Hawes Brae were very busy this afternoon, too. SQ was full of motorbikers, and the Brae full of parked cars.

    I was there about 5pm and pottered around and took photos of the ship and the bridge and stuff. I had time to wander up to Dalmeny Station to see if the view was any better -- but the trees are too tall and in leaf -- and back down again. There are 119 steps on that link path. The ship was meant to sail at 6pm wasn't it? They were still boarding people by then, and by half six I was cold and hungry and called it a day and went home. Consequently I expect I missed the departure by mere minutes.

    There were signs up for a Motorbiker's café. Also some sort of dune-buggy thing was keeping the leather wearing types company.

    Cruise in one sentence:
    * 'Nice Ship'

    Understatement of the year? :)

    Currently moored at Hound Point, and due to depart at 1800:
