This is the view of the ferries along the coast road towards Sangatte from Calais and once past there, up to Le Cap Blanc-Nez [yup White Cliffs not unlike those of Dover] you get wonderful views of all the ferries in full. The headland in the distance is le Cap Gris-Nez, the closest point to England [20 miles] and ship spotters often visit to catch a glimpse of passing vessels in the channel. It's a gorgeous road to drive along on a nice day. There are lots of places to stop.

Wightlink announced it was supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month [2008] by putting a giant pink ribbon on one of its vessels [St Clare] as part of the month's activities to raise money for breast cancer research on Wear it Pink Day 31 Oct. Members of the public were invited to wear a pink item & make a £2 donation to the charity.
My daughter took some photographs of all the ferries in Portsmouth during the afternoon. Unfortunately mostly directly into the sun, but you can just about see the Breast Cancer Awareness sticker & 'giant' ribbon either side of Wightlink's URL on one end of St Clare.
