Tugs on station by the Gladstone Dock

ropes attached

Ready to turn

Tug Sandon at the stern, just off the Waterloo wall

Tug Barbados pulling the stern around

Nearly there

Just a bit more

Welcome again to Liverpool

Finish with engines
Then I rowed home in my canoe

Great pictures Joe. Don't need a tag with you, we can all see where you've been. Canoeing to Kirkby? Do you know summit we don't.

Why was the fly past on Friday ? Could they not have had it on saturday or Sunday, when most of us are not in work

See what the seagulls are waiting for in the next pic

Steady stream of crew up and down the gangway to empty their rubbish in skips on the quayside

The tugs Donau and Sandon waiting to enter the Alfred Dock with the carrier and Legoland as a backdrop
