UP Agate & UP Jasper

[Whickham]

Had to go to Morpeth this morning so called into Blyth on the way back.
These two supply boats UP AGATE & UP JASPER were hiding up past Battleship Wharf. Laid up?

[creemaster]

AGATE arrived on April 25th and was followed by JASPER on 29th and yes they are both laid up.
Did you see John Wood at the Dun Cow ? Hope lightening does not strike twice- she is sister to SAURIA which was laid up here last year and ended up don at Hull
Interestingly she is on the port's website as Sierra Leone flag, POR Freetown but fly's the red duster

Nope, but then I am notoriously blind (and stupid)
To be fair as I drove onto the quayside from the south, I saw THURKUS already ahead of me, so got to the far end as quickly as possible to take a photo, avoiding a dozy pensioner on the way. Then I zipped off up to Bates to catch her there. So there could have been other things around.

"so got to the far end as quickly as possible to take a photo, avoiding a dozy pensioner on the way".
These dozy pensioners are a damn nuisance.

Dozy Pensioner.

How many points did you get for a dozy pensioner in Death Race 2000 ?

As you will see from: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=15770 it seems the JOHN WOOD is actually the former SAURIA.
