We travelled to and from Spain on the ferry from Portsmouth to Santander. Two days and a night of the English Channel, and the boundless ocean in the form of the Bay of Biscay. I spent a lot of time on deck. but inside the Galicia, there were portholes a-plenty through which to see the sea. As my fellow-passengers also knew.
From Pyrenees to Pennines 
A now less thn brilliant take on this theme! LOVE IT.

Many years ago (1981) we did Spain and back on this ferry. I seem to recall it was an overnighter both ways.

Crikey, that’s a long time on a ferry, hope the sea was calm. Great windows though, I can see your time wasn’t wasted 😊

No it wasn’t. And the sea was calm. Thank goodness. Not good with choppiness!

I’m a terrible sailor. Also travel sickness in cars, unless I am driving.

A sense of calm pervades this series of shots. Calm people, watching and waiting. A space between one place and the next. Hope the waters were as calm as the impressions you’ve given us!

They were. I’m a rotten sailor, and I was fine.

Great photos and made me wonder why real portholes make for interesting and moody shots, but the circle frame on a phone app produces simply unimpressive round pictures.

Yes, a bit of a marathon, but quite pleasurable. They have a volunteer on board helping you to spot Wales. We managed a few dolphins!

Thanks. It’s not one to undertake lightly. We were avoiding quarantining in France, but it costs a bomb.

Luckily, it wasn’t a cruise, just a way of getting across to Spain.

Close enough to a cruise for me. I don’t get the chance to get on water often. 😀 😀

Love the idea of sailing this route. I could happily while away the hours on deck, book in hand. Morning coffee and evening tipples. I’m not quite sure where I’d park the kids and husband in this day dream haha. Lovely shots, the portholes make great frames for little snapshots of life onboard.

There are play spaces for younger children. Bars, te deck – but best of all, for you a quiet room, comfortable and … silent.
