Shipspotting in the fog!

Woke up early to a beautiful sunny day here on the South Coast of England.

A quick look at Ship Finder showed me that there were lots of interesting vessels heading by in the next hour or so including some that we didn't have pictures of.

After a brisk walk I got nice and close...

Err - this is what I saw...

I'm not too sure that audio clips really work for ship spotting!!

That fog horn is Ice Crystal though!

Luckily after quite a bit more walking the fog did start to clear!

This is CMA CGM Chopin coming our of the fog bank...

I did see this on Ship Finder too...!!

Humboldt Rex did a bit of a U turn there!! CMA CGA Chopin is behind the word Rex in that image!

Anyway - thoroughly enjoyed my long walk today and did manage to upload three pictures to pinkfroot!
