Another training cruise ?
Vladivostok was moved into the Normandie lock before dawn and left Saint Nazaire about 0900Z
She settled on quite a steady (for a new helmsman anyway) course of 250 at about 12 kts. for over three hours. Previous training sorties have not gone much beyond the SN1 Buoy about 15 nm west of Noirmoutier.
She's now turned round, making it look like another shakedown or training cruise. . LFH
