Yeah, miami, that is the condor ferry in the last pic, its a huge catermeran that carries cars and passengers, its jet powered and fuckin quick as far as ferries go. It goes from poole harbour to the channel islands and then on to st malo in france i think.
However it may be great in the calm, but in the shitty stormy weather its really light in the water and gets buffeted around everywhere! Hence when my family and i took a trip to gurnsey one shit wintery morning, my brother and dad were the only people aboard not to empty their guts into the toilets, sinks, urinals, and in my case, half way up the main stairs running for the balcony!! That was a fun trip!
Then when we got there and everyone said, oh thank god for that, 'how long are you staying for?' we were only on a day trip!!!!!!!! So had to endure the same on the way home that night!!!!!!!!!!
Nitemare.

Yeah thats the ferry that is always getting cancelled in really rough weather- i've frequently heard its not sailing on the local radio down in dorset, i guess it doesn't handle the weather to well from your description. When i've been on day trips we take the Barfllour out of poole to cherbourg overnight (i know slow) and come back the next night, its much better and i've never felt sick even in proper gale force winds!,if you ever want to go to france i would reccomend that and not one of the light but quick ferrys if you don't want to empty your stomach again I also have expierience of a very small ferry to the isle of white and I also chucked!!

Yeah, we used to own the house and garden 3 houses down from the flats, but due to inheritence tax reasons we had to sell it in order to keep it if u c wat i mean, so we sold that, and bought this penthouse, which was in shit order, so my grandad organised renovation of it, Its pretty nice now. Its great in the summer, and the ricers dont make it as far as sandbanks, cus there are too many ferraris porches, beemers, mercs etc to put them to shame!! lol
