Storm Crossing - Stena Vision - Cherbourg to Rosslare

On 09/11/2023 I took a trip on the Stena Vision from Cherbourg to Rosslare as they were forecasting quite lively weather. After the sailing was first cancelled, they decided to sail anyway but with a delay to avoid the worst of the weather. I would like to thank the crew of the Stena Vision for the excellent crossing and getting us safely to Rosslare and back.

The Stena Vision is really one of those vintage ferries from the 80s with massive amounts of deck space and a layout you can't find anymore these days. So it was a bit of a blast to the past.

The weather we encountered was interesting. It started with a good gale (force 8) in the Channel followed by a force 5 to 7 further towards Land's End and a nice swell of about 4-6 metres coming from the Atlantic.
