BALMORAL arrived again from Whitehaven on Sunday May
26, but in very different weather conditions. With a string wind
blowing Laxey Towing company's tug LONAN assisted berthing. With the
winds expected to peak in the afternoon the coastal cruise to Ramsey
Bay unfortunately had to be cancelled and BALMORAL remained on
Victoria Pier for the whole afternoon. A heavy downpour coincided
with her departure! |

Conditions were very different
again on Monday May 28. A fine sunny day but an unseasonably cold
wind! BALMORAL operated a cruise to the Calf via Port St. Mary - she
is seen above near Calf Sound, approaching Port St. Mary, passing
Derby Haven and arriving at Douglas. |
