So, having travelled to Heysham Port and returned to Morecambe we settled down to lunch of Fish & Chips. Having wandered round Morecambe for a while and another cup of coffee, we still had a few hours to kill, so, we went to the cinema to watch The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - highly recommended.
When we learned that the night sailing had been cancelled we booked into The Clarenden Hotel for the night. After a meal in the downstairs bar and a number of beers we all retired for the night.
Day 2 - Wednesday. Had a good breakfast at 09:00 hrs. For £30 a night B&B The Clarenden Hotel is highly recommended. The ferry was scheduled to sail, so stayed local until it was time to catch the train to Heysham Port.
The ship was quite busy because of the earlier cancellations. It departed late and were greeted with the message of winds of force 8 and 9. I lasted about an hour and a half before I changed colour and made a deposit in a previously distributed paper bag. Needless to say, for some of us, the journey was hell. At least the hire car was waiting for us when we docked - an hour late.
