Probably favourite vessel of my BISCOre days....spent our first Wedding Anniversary on her as guest of Uglands and used the Owners Suite.........left Tyne in dead calm but in 24 hours was blowing Force 8 and she was not happy in ballast that trip.As special treat they made a Fish Curry for us........which ended up over the side...was only when we reached shelter of the Lofotens that things looked better. In Narvik we went ashore on the Sunday morning and not even the church was open, so scrounged a chicken lunch on another of our vessels...Huntings' Dalhanna........Calm coming back.

.... and you made it to your second anniversary, after all that?

[shipbroker]

Yup......that was my first 'cruise'...cheap it was as SWMBO gave up smoking as the sea was too rough and the fags were toasted Marlboroughs.........
