And the farewell continues, by the bad weather conditions. Saga Ruby is expected to leave only tomorrow at 4pm, and Saga Pearl II isn't sure the hour to leave yet.

This will delay her arrival back to Southampton for sure. The reason being storms on the Atlantic I know this as Stena Lines just resumed their Roslare-Fishgaurd  sailings having cancelled a day or two due to the threatening weather. I understand that you posted she shall sail to Asia via Gibraltar to become a hotel ship in Maynmar. I hope that should she become a hotel ship that she be berthed in the UK somewhere as given the fate of her sister Saga Rose in 2010 it looks dodgy same with the QE2 which is due to sail for conversion at the COSCO Shipyards in China on March 25th has just sat at the drydocks in Dubai with no satelite or signs of life onboard.

They refuel again today...But i think that it goes first to U.K, and then to Myanmar via Suez Canal. maybe it calls again in Lisbon, we don't know, but it hapen will be very good again. We are waiting to see if it goes outside tomorrow. It was a big surprise to us it continue here more time in the last call from Saga. Good to take more photos for record in future.

Thanks JISOLA for the update, any photo from the new name? Or some color changes?

New name has not been painted on yet but is  transmitting on AIS. vessel has just spent two weeks  in dry dock and has had her underwater hull repainted  and the upper hull touched up so colour scheme is the same.
