to Set Sail

I am off on the hydrofoil vessel called Mannan to Liverpool.  The weather is unpromising with it getting towards a gale in the North Irish Sea.  

Here you see a view, in the rain,  across to the vessel Ben -my-Chree which is loading prior to leaving Douglas harbour for Heysham.

I am on my way to make a journey down to Cornwall to collect an oil painting - but more about that later.
