White Bay Visitors

There is a succession of visitors to White Bay. Apart from the regular bulk cargo ships that come in to drop stuff off, it is also where people are told to go when there is nowhere else. And go they do.

We get firework barge assemblies, impromptu oil terminals, refits and all sorts of other stuff.

This post will be updated as and when...

The Boadicea. Reg Grundy's boat apparently - and if you can't wave your wonga under the noses of the less well off, well, what's the point of having it. It's a bit James Bondy - having got a lift-up back where little boats (presumably all sporting rocket-launchers) can come out but, for all its opulence, it's not really my style. Why waste your money on something without a helipad?

The Esperanza (Spanish for 'Hope', apparently) is the Greenpeace ship that recently harassed that Japanese whaler. Looks like they dropped in to restock and get a bit of R&R. They assured the world that they really, really didn't have anything to do with that nasty fire on the whaler - and they probably have a point. Most likely culprit is karma.
