Haircut, shave and off to the Isle of Man - Thursday (20/03)


All the last minute things all done, travelling very light - in fact probably too light given the forecast for snow and gale force winds.


Off round to Gio's for one of his 10 minute special haircuts - no matter what you ask for it always ends up the same !


Got to Heysham in plenty of time and the sea and forecast are awful - ferries from Liverpool have been cancelled and I am dreading teh thought of being at sea feelings ick for 4 hours - got a nice comfy spot in the bar and decided to lie down on teh floor to try and stop myself spewing - four hours later and feel like shit, but no spew - its a miracle !


To say the ferry we were on wasa bit primitive is an understatement - Ben My Chree it was called, how it didn't sink God only knows.
Right, time to find some fish and chips for supper.

Ben my Chree means "Girl of my heart" in Manx - although I don't know anybody that loves her!

The crossing was fine on the way back and I even took a cabin to get some proper sleep !

It really is a tin pot boat though !
