Title: Watching the ships go by!

Hi PDs

here is a site that I use here on my island in Greece to see if the ferries are on time - but it works for the whole world. try it out - it's fun and informative!

Hi Stuart,
I quite often use shipAIS to check on shipping around the Clyde area....handy for photographers getting into position for that elusive pic of a favorite ship also. I just like a good snoop!!

Hi PD's......& thanks Stuart...........in the world map...I am in block 118 of the eastern coast of NSW [OZ land] & tonight found the Iron Yandi 

I saw her anchoring @ approx 0600 today in a heavy swell & she required say 4 km off shore to set the pick being a 100 thousand tonner.......Derek  :beer
