Blanca Del Mar

[CedricH]

Hi,

I just saw this picture of the Blanca Del Mar in the Ferries section of the website.
It seems that she is off anchor at Gibraltar and her hull markings have been painted out.

Does anyone know what will happen to her now that she has completed her charter with Iscomar.
There were some rumours about her returning to the Channel but nothing has materialised so far.

Regards
Cedric
