unlinkedstudent Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) ^ aka for peeps like me struggling: "I was wondering what the large brute was I was seeing 'meandering aimlessly'(?) over the Laaward all day yesterday. Should have recognised "Salmond's Navy" - on a spying trip no doubt. Surely was trying to "go green" and save on oil to end up with, last I was aware of her was in the middle of the afternoon slipping away to the north on the tide. Err I think.

Ghostrider Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 ^ the Sans Vitesse's paint job is nothing new... are they expecting trouble? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:HMS_Argus_(1917).jpg I'd guess they've already had all the trouble they want....Lets hope her history isn't an omen of her immediate future. September 13, 2013Holland Shipyards’ sister yard Instalho has recently delivered the “Sans Vitesse†to her owner Chevalier Floatels. A remarkable project, all the more since the vessel used to function as a shelter for former drug addicts. Since then, the vessel has been transformed into a luxurious accommodation vessel for a complement of 90 persons in single cabins. http://www.holland-shipyards.com/news/1/accommodation-barge-sans-vitesse-delivered-to-chevalier-floatels.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilldellin Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 ^ Tocht the Sans Vitesse was looking rather resplendent today now that they have opened up the lower deck canon ports, which is more than I can say for what is lurking on her north side :-http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5503/10329599604_e7713aefaf_c.jpgSans Vitesse IMG_2337 by Ronnierob, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quarffie Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Stilldellin, what camera (and zoom) is that you use? I try, with a 'bridge camera (x30 optical zoom) but mine are nowhere near as good as your pictures... and for some reason I really struggle to get the horizon level - it invariably slopes from left to right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
