Leyland to Portsmouth

A fairly insignificant drive down to Portsmouth - arriving hours early. The Terminal has to be one of the most ununteresting places to go in the world - except that they now have a Costa Coffee in the building.
I found it much more interesting to sit in the car.
The Moon was bright with a phase of 78.75% waxing so I took an i-phone shot of it.
I notice that the British get really stressed when waiting to go on a ferry or to leave it. No amount of worrying about getting on as soon as possible will make any difference whatsoever - people were clearly getting annoyed when people that had just arrived were getting on before them. Brittany Ferries even have a video now explaining that loading the boat is a very technical operation in that different sizes and weights determine location on the boat - as well as little things like ensuring that refrigerated trucks are parked near power sockets to keep their load cold! It is a good idea to ensure that the boat is not tipped over to the side and is balanced side to side and front to back!
Another i-phone snap minutes before I drove on to the Cap Finistere.
