Not Hitched Yet

The camera never lies. True. But people do, and the the photo of our ship the HS proves this point. Even though the ship appears to be leaving Cape Town, in reality she is lying just of the coast of The Netherlands near Rotterdam. This is an old photo.

Rotterdam is quite busy at the moment judging by the crowd of vessels lying around. As can be seen in the clip below, the HS (yellow inside the red parentheses) is lying at anchor and moving with the wind and tide (blue track lines). The crew will be sleeping in late while waiting for the All Clear sign from the port authorities. The important point is that the two week trip Cape Town to Rotterdam via Las Palmas is over, bar the shouting.  “Hello Rotterdam!”
