The loading of a Ferry boat is something amazing to see in efficiency
We saw how they haul new cars off -trailers hooked and hauled off- new trucks and trailers loaded parked assigned positions; and motorcade and campers going with us loaded
Obviously on foot passengers too which they do not care about so much
The drivers get a cabin included in their booking with their horse and trailers
The organization to get cargo off and on in just 4 Hours amazes me
Every truck and has a position and way to be parked for not only storage but the off load as well.
Loading went with out hick up. I can just think what happens if one driver get stuck around a corner and damages a structural beam around the sharp corner inside the cargo area
Never mind they will solve it
Normally I thought these Italians are all talk and no action and hours of hours dis organization butt......... My mouth is shut after I saw this Boat loading
Any case we left the dockside smoothly and without stop -starts and took the open seas at full speed at 27 knots to make up time for the Sardinia pick up
Boat floats like a swan in water I was a bit scared that we might become sick but apart from a small feeling of uneasy ness I slept like a dream
It is such a good feeling to hear the prrr.. of the engines just faintly
O this is so much better than squashed inn on a airplane
The food you have to buy plus-and all drinks only free item is drinking water.
Wish we had such a freight plus passenger service between UK and Sa
I struggle now to concentrate a singer. Is singing such good songs
Their is a singer on the ship a entertainer and he has no problem to sing along from these Sardinians
I was on the bridge and what a a view and instruments and electronic scanning equipment
Looks like a flight deck of a airplane but here the instruments are bigger there is space
Had a lovely walk around by a young officer explaining the route working hours and ships crossing and just general duties they perform
Old story still working 4 hour watches and 8 hours off
They seldom get off in 4 months not allowed to drink apart from the one glass of wine
Sjoe! I thought these officers have a jol in Spain but it is a very serious 4 months obviously they get 2 months leave after this and then party enough
The sailing is so smooth the water calm feels like a bus on a highway
Only drawback are the numerous steps to go between cabin and entertainment area. Ag good for mr need to loose a little weight in any case
Good value
