"CAP FINISTERE" at Roscoff
I am back on board "CAP FINISTERE", this is my eight trip on the ship since 2011, it is my first from Portsmouth to Bilbao via Roscoff. The ship sails on Sunday from Portsmouth at 22.30 and calls at Roscoff Monday morning where a different crew comes on board, she normally stays about 90 minutes from 9 am to 10.30 am, this is normally advertised as a technical call but in fact is more than that because some passengers boarded the ship. This trip takes me back to the years where the P & O "PRIDE OF BILBAO" used to sail every Saturday from Portsmouth to Bilbao, also a two night crossing but no ports of call along the way, the addition of Roscoff on this journey makes the ideal scenario for a mini cruise, two nights aboard the ship and a stop at Roscoff, passengers are not allowed to disembark but still is in my opinion and most certainly of all the ships enthusiasts an added bonus, our expected time of arrival is tomorrow morning at 6.45 am, British Time.
