Scillonian III passing the old Penlee Lifeboat House on her last trip of 2012
SCIII passing between Mousehole and Arneborg - she's due to have a major refurbishment to her interior - as the powers that be think that with the loss of the helicopter she needs to be far more comfortable - could not see anything wrong with the way she is - it's not comfort people need, it's a faster and smoother journey and SCIII can never really do that ! She's also having major work on one of her engines during the Winter. She'll be missed even more than usual by the island folk.
I can't see anything wrong with the "Scillonian" either.It gets you to "Scilly"... it must be good!Fair enough it can be a bit rough at times..butas non fliers it gets us there!I do feel for the islanders with winter looming and the loss of the helicopter.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope that we don't get a foggy or wet winter - real problem with the runway waterlogging at Lands End. Sue
