Niagara’s back!

Eagle eyed roving reporter, Dave Brooks spots the SB Niagara back on the water and sailing again after a complete restoration after 70 years laid up. As Frank Spice (snr) puts it, “Its nice to see some of the old girls coming back after all these years” and Martin Phillipd says “Welcome Back!”. Thanks too, to Dave B for this nice picture of her out there doing her stuff.  In the latest from ‘Cambria Watch’ by Hilary Halajko, she writes “We locked out of Tibury docks at 7 this morning bound for Brightlingsea. We hove to off Southend to row Dick Durham ashore and are now underway again. It’s 14.00 and we’ve just reached the spitway so with a lovely fair wind have decided to carry on to Harwich. Crews ETAs vary between 17.00 and 19.00 we shall see!
