A relentlessly busy year has finally stopped and today we set off for France, travelling with Brittany Ferries from Portsmouth to Caen.
We passed warships new, and old.
And the symbol of Portsmouth – the Emirates (!) Spinnaker.
And then we were in the Solent and heading south.
I wonder why it was named the “The Emirates Spinnaker”??

I didn’t know it was ‘Emirates’ – perhaps they paid for it?
