Logging in ( or is that blogging in ?? ) from the bar on the ferry.  We know we have 5 Mogs aboard, but haven't seen the other 4 yet. We set sail at 6.30 and should be sitting down to eat together around 7.30.  The trip to Meinz might have to start with some autobahn traveling as to stay off them and do the Rhine Valley would be close on nine and a half hour's solid driving - not including getting lost and comfort stops !!  Hopefully there will be a photo or two available tonight of the start at Whitby, but not sure about internet access later as the boat may block it because they offer their own - at a price. Apparently this applies to mobile phones too.
