The much loved VAL DE LOIRE leaving Plymouth back in 2001, we were just starting a voyage that would take us to Santander, a regular service the ship kept for over 10 years, the famous fury of the Bay of Biscay was waiting for us, the ship navigated against force nine for a period of the trip, as usual she coped extremely well and we only arrived 90 minutes late at our destination, precious memories that will last a lifetime, I was and still am very fond of black and white photos so quite pleased to share these with the followers of this blog.
