  • Soon to arrive in the English port of Portsmouth from Cherbourg, the first of its routes, we see the SeaCat leaving its watery wake in the English Channel. Hoverspeed Great Britain is a 74 metre long, ocean-going catamaran built in 1990 by Incat for the UK company Hoverspeed. It is powered by four 20RK270 marine engines with a 7080 kW at 100% Maximum Continuous Rating (MCR). The engines were built at the Newton-le-Willows site which at the time was part of the Alstom group. Since then it has been bought by MAN B&W Germany and the site was closed and production transferred to nearby Mirrlees Blackstone site. Hoverspeed, formed in 1981 by the merger of Seaspeed and Hoverlloyd, was a ferry and hovercraft company that operated on the English Channel from 1981 until 2005.

  • Pensioners on holiday - or on a daytrip - at the Nofilk seaside town of Great Yarmouth wait for a friend beneath a wide banner advertising a Karaoke event at the venue behind them that night. There are four old ladies and one man in the group, all dressed in summer clothes for their day at the beach. Only the gentleman is looking our way as the women are otherwise occupied. There is litter at their feet and garish posters are behind them. The man is outnumbered, a gender ratio of 4 to 1.

  • A yodelling lady singer belts out traditional Alpine Swiss songs during a concert in the Liechtenstein capital, Vaduz. In front of an audience consisting of locals and visiting tourists, the lady is dressed in traditional Swiss/Alpine dress called a dirndl, a type of traditional dress worn in Germany – especially Bavaria – Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria and South Tyrol, based on the historical costume of Alpine peasants. Dresses that are loosely based on the dirndl are known as Landhausmode ("country-inspired fashion"). A dirndl skirt generally describes a light circular cut dress, gathered at the waist, that falls below the knee

  • Stopping work for a moment to pose for a portrait on the sea wall at Lowestoft, Suffolk, England, a team of the resort's lifeguards show their youth, fitness and bodies beautiful, displaying themselves in the sun of a fine summer day. There is only one female member but some are standing on the wall while others are seated in deck chairs, a ladder seat or on the hot sand near three sexy girls are are sunning themselves near a railing. Wearing bikinis one is not asleep but eyeing-up some of the alpha-male specimens  on show wearing only red shorts. Meanwhile, holidaymakers walk past with ice-creams. It is a bright scene and obviously a busy time for these safety experts when tourists forever get themselves into danger in the sea and surf. Currents here make for a hazardous experience for those unable to swim out of trouble.

  • Largely American passengers re-join their cruise holiday voyage around the Gulf of Mexico during a day's stop-over in Cancun, Mexico. Reflected in the puddles of recent seasonal rain, they queue up on the port's quayside to have their identity passes checked before being allowed back on board the Fun Ship Ecstasy. Seen above them and in reflected in the water at their feet are some of the many windows and portholes of this enormous vessel belonging to the Vegas-style Carnival Cruise lines company. The Panamanian-registered MS Ecstasy is a 70,367 ton cruise ship carrying 2,052 passengers and 920 crew whose routes are mainly around the Gulf and Carribean Sea.

  • Whilst on a cruise aboard the Fun Ship Ecstasy during a voyage from Miami around the Gulf of Mexico, passengers enjoy a sexual game on deck beneath a strong tropical sun. Male contestants have lined up to be inspected by a blindfolded lady wearing a swim suit and painted nails who is required to identify her own husband by feeling his lower body and torso. Howls of laughter emit from the other men as the lady realises that this is indeed her own spouse who stands on a chair, his bulging crotch at chest height. She smiles to herself, still blind beneath a towel and the moment is funny enough for all to enjoy a happy hour of organised entertainment on deck. The Panamanian-registered MS Ecstasy is a 70,367 ton cruise ship carrying 2,052 passengers and 920 crew belonging to Vegas-style Carnival Cruise lines.
