That was parked at the Albert Dock in Liverpool all winter. I wondered where it had gone.

,,,,, apart from http://www.seafordtowncouncil.gov.uk/Seafront-Development-Plan.aspx including new kiosks, an entertainments area, 60 new beach huts, a cafe, 20 Executive Chalets (!), beach volley ball and beach football sand areas, three outdoor showers along the beach for bathers and children’s sandpits at the three concession points along the promenade, etc, etc. Methinks it's going to look a bit less undeveloped after this lot!

I like the idea of outdoor gym equipment. Most of that is pretty well spaced out, so there will still be space for everyone.

I was trying to get the ship and the incoming ferry (like old and new) but couldn't get much definition from my phone.

They have an app as well as the website. It's been fascinating keeping track of the construction and support vessels working on Rampion.

Was just about to post that up.
Interestingly it was built in 2000!

Blimey! That's a cracking site!

Checked to see what was off the Hastings coast just now. Biggest ship was the Artania, a cruise liner. Looked out my window and sure enough I can see a big ship out there all lit up like a Christmas tree. Now I know exactly what it is. Amazing stuff!

Thanks for the link.

This was one of the pics I got from the beach this evening. Not the best as just on my phone.

You can also use the vesselfinder website too, which is pretty much the same.

Love the tall ships - my 14yr old spent a week on the TS Royalist during the Easter holidays with his cadet mates...he had an amazing time sailing the Solent, & then down to Poole & Weymouth.
