Its great that the refit did go ahead ( I'm tempted to have a rant about politicians in countries with large numbers of old people being able to find money for old people projects but hardly ever for stuff for the young - they know where their votes come from )
That ship has been tied up at Santa Cruz de Tenerife for a good few days now. There is a small area of the port given over to things that float but are not 1:ferries 2:freighters 3:yachts.
