Coming into Buckie harbour, Sunday 19th July 2009



    Hi Kev

    Great to see this old Puffer back on the sea - last time I saw her she was in Maryport Harbour and didn't looking any condition to put to sea. Nice piece of living history  :D

    Regards

    Hi Kev

    Great stuff - perhaps she will call in at one of the NE England Ports (Blyth or Tyne would be very nice, thank you very much!). Nice idea to chart her progress in that way  :D

    was there a reason for going north about ?thought south about was a better option and quicker  :D
    Hi Tommy

    Sounds like a jolly for the crew, and why not after their efforts to get her seaworthy  :D

    Aye Kev, might just do that, although reading their web site it appears it's a case of stopping off in any Port that takes their fancy !

    Hi Kev

    Received this reply:

    Steve, VIC96 is at Fraserburgh tonight (Monday), hopefully getting to Aberdeen
    tomorrow (Tuesday).  The grand plan is to make South Shields by next Saturday, so keep
    your fingers crossed!
