We were indeed fortunate with the light and her position. No idea she had been there so long, as I only visit Lowestoft very occasionally in passing.
Will see if I can find out anything.

Nice shot. She has been at Lowestoft since the start of August 2006. When she arrived she said that she would only be in port for 3 weeks!!! She was then supposed to sail to Nigeria towing two landing craft (berthed further up river)
As far as I am aware she was suposed to be in Lowestoft for minor repiars. I'm guessing that one repair lead to another and another and another...
I don't know how much truth is in it but I have heard that her survey ticket has expired so she may not be going anywhere just yet.
Another rumour is that she is going for scrap but I don't know how much truth is in this either, the 'Grape-Vine' says that she is in an awful state. However, I hope she does set sail at some point as it would be nice to see her leave the port she was built at, but I guess time will tell

Thanks very much for all the info.
Obviously her smart paint work hides a few old wounds. Hope you manage to get a shot of her if she leaves.
