Ocean Terminal..

Has anyone been down to Ocean Terminal recently? Went down last night to go see Sim City but this big boat was sitting there... Might be something to do with the G8?

Plus this luxury yacht is sitting next to britainia and puts it to shame!

There's a bunch of German Navy boats too. Probably some sort of NATO exercise or something. That big white one is a French missle tracking vessel:

Got these last night. There's also a rather nice US Coastguard tall ship:

Epykitten the Horrible has been working at the docks quite a bit (no, like mother like son jokes thank you

) and he's been taking photos on his phone. He was showing us one of the US Coastguard thingy tonight - looks really impressive.

Thank you, Laird o'Wang, saw the white 'boat' sailing down forth when at N Berwick today and wondered what she was. In fact, thank you twice, s I saw the 3 masted boat very early today too but someone I pointed it out to said it was the piers in Fife!!

BTW, where are the photies of the sailors - esp, officers??!!

Boats are cool, but the men on board are often even cooler, IMO.

Actually they didn't want any photos taken... I guess they didn't want anyone else seeing them swigging back the bottles of Becks!
