'Le Boreal' Back in Service

Readers of this blog will remember that Trevor Potts, who runs the Ardnamurchan Campsite in Kilchoan, was involved in the rescue of passengers and crew of this ship, Le Boreal, when it had an engine room fire off the Falklands last November - Diary story here.

At present, she's still undergoing repairs and upgrades in a Genoese shipyard. The parent company had hoped she would resume sailings early in May, but she will now sail from Glasgow on her first cruise on May 24. Full story here.

Many thanks to Malcolm Appleby for bringing the story to my attention.
