Unfortunately not, the clue is this ship was not on that tracking web site, you need to think why wasn't it.
Possible an optical illusion, mirages are not unknown at sea after all, what were the sea and sky conditions?

We’re on the way to Manchester. We’re getting on with the job. We’re delivering on the people’s priorities. #CPC21



He's going to be upset when he realises the LNER doesn't go to Manchester

When I was fat, three raw chopped cloves of garlic enabled to continue my lardy lifestyle, without chest pains. At the time, the only medication I was having was Ibuprofen for plantar fasciitis, so I had the odd dizzy spell because of the combination. Now that I've lost weight (because of Covid concerns), if I decide to dice with death and a big juicy steak, cheese plate and a bottle of wine, I keep the raw garlic within arm's reach for a day or two afterwards. It really does do something, but your mileage and experience may vary. Can't do any harm, in my quack opinion, and it takes about two weeks consuming three raw chopped garlic cloves for the improvements of blood flow to/within/out of the heart to become apparent. Always consult your Doctor before making any lifestyle changes.


My plantar fasciitis resolved when my dose of thyroid hormone reached adequacy.

Wow, really? I've been rescheduling an appointment with an endocrinologist since last November, maybe I should go instead. I rescheduled last time when cases were low, but they had no test tubes. Good to know, thanks for that.

That must have been amazing, getting rid of plantar fasciitis! I've had it since 2010 - tried everything. If I keep walking a couple/few miles every few days, it's generally kept in check, but it'd be wonderful to get rid of it for good. Fancy that... a link between thyroid hormone and plantar fasciitis... Do they give you pills of some sort? Is it this?

I am aware of quite a number of people who found PF improved or totally resolved when their thyroid issues were properly addressed.

Yes - I take levothyroxine but some take liothyronine or a combination.

Hypothyroidism has many, many effects. And a lot are not properly recognised. For me, sleep was a problem. I'd fall asleep easily enough, then wake after half to two hours - and be unable to get back to sleep. I'd often see dawn and just get up.

I used to suffer from the feeling of dryness of my skin, especially my hands. Was a hand-cream addict! Now I rarely have any issues.

I also use supersoft diabetic insoles in my shoes.

I was walking around the Great Orme in Llandudno yesterday and I could see several miles out to sea an unusual looking ship. When the sun shone on it, it seemed to be gleaming white, I could not remember seeing a ship like that out there before. There are often many ships a few miles out from Llandudno I think they anchor there waiting their turn to go into the docks in Liverpool.

I went onto the Ship Radar 24 web site with my mobile phone and I couldn't seem to locate the ship. All the other ships I could see appeared to be on the web site but this one wasn't.

My eye sight is not that good and the ship was several miles off shore but the ship remined me of one of those huge pleasure craft multi millionaires and billionaires show off in. I couldn't see why one of them would be in this part of the world though, where its cold and windy at the moment.

Now you guys are a pretty smart bunch on here, later on I found out a little about the ship would anyone like to guess what ship it was.
Der fliegende Holländer ?

Apparently even RN use AIS when going into/out of port.

We see many huge ships lying off shore on a regular basis - St Brides Bay. But they tend to be painted red, blue, black, etc.

Is Ship Radar 24 the best (free?) app for IOS?

Taking steps to lengthen ones life to any extent is worth trying, at least I think so.
Many in here believe the same, but I totally disagree. Life is only worthwhile if it has quality, a life without quality is worthless.

For nearly 14 billion years before I was born I didn't exist. For at least 5 billion years after I die I won't exist. I've never lost a moments sleep over the first time that happened, so why should I fret that it will happen again shortly?

The lack of acceptance that one dies is a widespread mental health issue and thoroughly unhealthy, often leading to stress as death approaches and desperate attempts to hang onto life as we become victims of the survival instinct out of control.

Life is finite and has no fixed term, every life is a life however short or long. I had my philosophy on life and death fully worked out by the age of 20 and ever since then I've said the same thing on the issue:

"I'm ready to die any time, even before the end of this sentence"

Yes royal navy not sure what it was because I couldn't really see it properly. Later on my walk I was chatting to an old fellow who had a sort of short telescope he had been watching it and he told me it was a navy ship and he could just make out a large gun on the front of it.
Sounds like the Type 45 anti missile destroyer:

That's very "Be Here Now", Buddhist (via "mindfulness" or Vipassana) or Zazen.

Death will never take me alive.

There's a very sneaky full stop at the end of nearly all your posts, which is why I din't mention the lack of full stop between quotation marks, but you could have also been making a point, so I was confused, and remained silent on the issue, and now you very much wish I had continued to do so, as do I.
