How many of you remember where that saying come from *chuckle*. Anyway last evening i was indeed chuffed, finding the Pride Of Rotterdam available on the Solent server. Took her from the western approach right to docking at the QE2 birth, expecting at any minute for the server to go down. Brilliant!. So thought everyone appearing after me apparently , as they all decided to bring 'The Pride' up channel too. Ended up with five of us in Southampton trying to get out of each other's way, with no big tugs available to sort us out. Good fun though. That's until i managed to go the wrong side of a red bouy and go aground on my return trip *sigh*. Two other 'Prides' came a cropper aswell, so there is really very little room for error on the Solent. I'm sure it can't be that tight on the real Solent, but there you go. Nice also, to see the absence of any 'prats' trying to spoil things. Things are looking up. Regards, Brian.
