Hardly surprising really as the English Channel is one of the busiest waterways in the world

Cool bit of computer imagery ;-)

If anyone's that way inclined - it's interesting to see just what's lurking around our coastline........

THAT.. is actually a very cool piece of kit Jim

I'm a bit worried that the FastCat from Portsmouth which is currently at 25.7kts has an ETA of Jan 21/0900 but hey.. it kept me occupied for a few minutes. Like it ;-)

That is very interesting.

I only hope that Osama Bin Liner doesn't find it equally so.

Cheers
