Brilliantly
sunny morning, hardly a cloud in the sky. Not cold either. Better than
elsewhere in the UK, where strong winds rule. Found that the cargoship Celtic Spirit,
that I mentioned yesterday, has been detained before. On 25th November
2003, she was stopped at Le Lègue Saint Brieuc (Brittany, France) for 3
deficiencies in machinery and safety in general. She measures 2,978
tonnes and is registered in the Bahamas. The boat is operated by the
Willie Group, a Cardiff-based shipping company which specialises in
transportation of timber, initially as pit-props (coalmines). On the
company's website, Celtic Spirit is quoted as being delayed due
to bad weather. Aye, that would fit. She was due in at Warren Point,
Northern Ireland, on December 1st. After dark, at 5pm, I went into town
to photograph the Christmas illuminations. Otherwise not a lot doing
tonight. Mrs B's logs are very wet, but she's experienced in lighting
fires (in her fireplace) so that poses few problems.
