If they didn't run through their respective cities, Liverpool, Nottingham, Gloucester, Limerick, Plymouth or Newcastle, then they would be mugged.

The Mersey is my workplace. One day we may get a Shannon to replace it.

seadog, I salute you

I was determined to find a song connection too but while I had 3 definites for song titles and 3 for artists I was starting to clutch at straws with Severn Little Girls Sitting in the Back Seat

[seadogg]

Alas my active rescue days are over (anno domini) but there is still work to be done.

True, seadogg, my bro-in-law supports the Richard Cox Scott by giving them the house free rent.....his 'payback' for all that they do to support sailors.

Seadogg as I understand it all Merseys will be replaced by Shannons in time.If you havent seen one try this.

The real secret to the Shannon is its part propeller driven, part jet-ski awesome or what....

My guess is that the video was done in Aldeburgh - seen it for real & it's awe inspiring :+)
