    I travelled on the SR.N4 a couple of times, truly a magnificent beast. One thing that was slightly off putting, looking out to the front whilst hurtling across the channel at load tide at some indecent speed, and seeing a sand bank dead ahead made ones buttocks clench slightly at the though of running aground at that speed, the senses not used to the fact that you were above and not in the water... 8-[
