One thing that happened very quickly when the Queen died was the Portsmouth Harbour Master, which I had known as The Queens Harbour Master (QHM) immediately became KHM, The King’s Harbour Master.
I subscribe to the email issued daily by The KHM, the email lists major ship movements through the harbour, in and out over the day. I was surprised to see that whilst Contentin is listed, so are Mon St Michel and Normandie. Just at times of day when I won’t see them.
We’ve been on the Mon St Michell, when we went to France, I think it was 2013. The journey back wasn’t brilliant, only in that (apart from other issues I won’t talk about) the cabin we had was stuffily hot, we were tired and couldn’t sleep. If it hadn’t been (hot and stuffy) it would have been nice. Actually, a nice end to a lovely holiday.
