We were here on my birthday and it was wonderful on the ship. We have made some good friends here and we all had a really good time including a great dinner together! Even many of the crew joined in making it a really special day.
The Isle of Man is a self-governing British Crown Dependency (yes, confusing) in the Irish Sea between Great Britain and Ireland. Humans have lived on this island for over 8500 years. The island is best known for the TT Motorcycle Races which are one of the most dangerous racing events in the world as over 250 people have died since its inception. Average speeds now exceed 130 mph. The island is also famous for the Manx cat, a breed with short or no tail. The island has been awarded biosphere reserve status which designates places that have achieved a balanced relationship between people and nature.
