Seems like she has been sold, and will be moved into the sea lock at midday on Friday ready for sea sometime on Monday. sad that a little bit more of our heritage is going.

Last reports were it has gone up to be drydocked in Sharpness, and then she is going to be used as a museum/ attraction.
I saw her off Penarth yesterday, brought back memory's of sailing around her when she was on the Breaksea.

I saw her in King Road um, yesterday? (It's been a crazy few days: I've lost my sense of time.) They seemed to be having a bit of difficulty with the tow. It had gone slack when I first noticed but they gradually got the tension back on.
