1 September 2013 08:58242820Does that mean that this thread will now slowly die
, I certainly hope not it is the best thread on here, some may not bother going to the old front page.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
------------------------------------------------------------------- - 1 September 2013 18:56242860Fabulous photos yet again & terrific information aplenty on this thread, great stuff as always
Have just put this week's schedule of cruise ships on the new Sea News/doverforum front page, it's a great week so take a peek

I hope you will continue to give your champagne socialist views on this forumALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 1 September 2013 23:13242894The competitors in the round the world 'Clipper' yacht race have left London today for Southend, where the race is to begin tomorrow, alas I can't say whether the head first South or North, and I can find no official web site.
But, be on the look out just in case.Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing. - 2 September 2013 06:17242905Thanks for that Tom, will watch out.
Thanks for the comments guys.
Yes the idea is to give the Sea News a new fixed address, a fixed abode
So now the very latest can be found at..
http://www.doverforum.com/sea-news/ Great cruise liners in today monday.
See post 919 for more info
here is some of it again as now its gone over the page..so just to make sure the regular posters on this thread are aware.

Some of you will have noticed we were making a few changes ourselves over the past few days. Chris has added a comments section now on the old Doverforum frontpage and I reckon the best move right now is to do the Sea News section over there now and let my contribution to this thread here go. We had a good long run with this thread thanks to all the contributors.
So I am hoping all you regular Sea Newzers .. Ed, Howard, ColetteB, Brian, Kevin, John, Tom, Jacqui, Keef etc and anyone else who likes to drop in occasionally will join me over there. Its a good platform with wider viewing potential ..on google search engines etc.etc..and is very easy to use. it has open membership so maybe some of the guys from Dover Ferry Photos might like to stick up a picture or two.
Strictly just for sea, sailing, shipping etc etc
The page is not entirely done yet still a few bits to do..Chris is at the coalface shovellin as we speak.

Sounds like an exciting challenge! - 2 September 2013 07:58242916It's crystal clear why luxury cruise ship operators choose Dover! Magnificent sight this morning with both the Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony in port. The Port of Dover is hosting the Luxury Cruise Expo for the next two days, so lots of influential people from the cruise industry and media in town. Glorious weather to show off our assets as a destination.

Yes Boss, the all new 'singing and dancing' Sea News feature is nearly there. It will soon be time to pin the link to it at the top of the Forum page, just as Barry's blog, then put a link to it in the panel to the left, then find somewhere to afford archive access to this historic thread.
There are one or two other things, but I'm sure Chris is well aware of what's what.
P.S.
It seems certain now that the Clipper Race will be heading south today. Thanks Carole.Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing. - 2 September 2013 19:58243078The entire Crystal fleet in Dover ..... on the same day! ..... whoopee!
As both ships were scheduled to sail at 18:00 hrs, I was hoping for better things, but the Symphony's departure was delayed for an hour. Oh well ... never mind.

4 September 2013 16:11243400still love all the pictures
keep it up guys and girlsALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 5 September 2013 02:16243440Barry, your post above ..... thanks very much. It was nice to drop in and to say hello to a few familiar faces.
The old respiratory problem has largely kept me away from ships for about a year or so, but I have a visit to the Saga Ruby arranged on the 26th so if you are around perhaps we can have a chin wag. This will be the last time Dover will see the Saga Ruby before her retirement so it will be nice to help give her a good send-off.
I've no idea why Grand Mistral was a no-show, but here have been a number of cancellations this year.
Here she is in 2011.
