Is anyone interested in details of how to best see Manxman when it first sails into Heysham?
whenever that happens to be or first scheduled arrival 22nd July, around lunchtime.

bit far for me to go unfortunately down here in wurzel country! It's supposed to be doing a berthing trial at Heysham before it starts service so you may get to see it a bit sooner. Looking at the tracker, it seems to be doing a round the island thingy - it's going up the west coast at the moment

Well, it nearly made it! then it turned round & set off back again! was it the wind? or something I said!

Cruismapper shows an ETA of 0700hrs tomorrow into Heysham

Appears to be in Heysham this morning

It is indeed, seemingly successfully berthed on the central linkspan! I nearly missed it, got up late!
I've also a "handheld" timelapse here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYopHiRCT8M
