CARDIFF - Mon 13th June 2011

I've been away for about ten days and I know that I missed the following:- 2 of Gerhard Wessels coasters - Faust, (arrived on 30th from Tarrangona, Spain - UPDATE - picture now added below) and Gorky (arrived on 6th June from Newport with a part cargo of steel).  On 4th June 2 more coasters - Nural Stevns (came in from Spain) and Ceg Cosmos (arrived from Norway) - UPDATE - picture added HERE.  The Tyne based tug Flying Spindrift made a visit and sailed for Lowestoft on 10th June.
