Open sea viewed from the rear of the vessel. The is a dark indigo blue, quite calm, and the sky above has broken high cloud. In the foreground the jets of water stand many feet above the surface and the wake stretches almost to the horizon.

   Halfway across the Irish Sea yesterday I ventured out on the stern of the Dublin Swift. The Swift, as the name suggests, is built for speed — taking 2.5 hours to do a crossing that larger conventional ferries take 3.5 hours to do. The craft uses water jet propulsion rather than conventional propellers to get up to 33 knots and I wasn’t expecting to see these great plumes of water billowing up behind us.
