    Ok, a smaller version of what we had, but at least something. Was so nice to hear a ship leaving again.

    You'll not hear it that often though, slightest breeze and the thing gets cancelled, next to useless it is!

    the Lynx 3 was operating down in Rosslare and then has been tied up in Dublin by the East Link forthe last few months.

    Yea, definitely something similar alright. Would have been about 15 -20ish years ago. I just remember it was taken off the route as quick as it arrived.

    If only the boards where active back then we could search for it! :pac:

    aye, i remember the SeaCat, Must have been the guts of 15 years ago.

    The boat swayed from side to side, and claimed to be the best thing since sliced bread


    I was stuck on it in the middle of the irish sea one night coming back with my mother from holyhead. VOMIT EVERYWHERE. People Just threw up everywhere.


    Never again did we get the boat. Ryanair all the way

    'Tis why the crew christened her "The Vomit Comet". I am told the Explorer will be back for two daily sailings in the summer.
