Another snippet of information I discovered last night whilst browsing with a wee glass of something nice was the news that the MV Balmoral, running mate of the Waverley, will NOT be doing her usual tour of the UK this year due to very poor results in 2012. She is NOT being sold or scrapped and continues to be looked after in Bristol so will hopefully still be running around the Bristol Channel area. Another lost opportunity, as with the Kingswear Castle, many a happy trip on the Thames and Medway was undertaken plus of course all those unusual ports of call such as Colchester, Rye, Ramsgate etc.
Lets hope 2013 brings some more positive news!
