Is there any truth in the rumour that the "Cutty Sark" was going to be refloated in time for the TT and set up in opposition to the Steamy Packet, sailing out of Bristol at 1864 prices ??

Clearly someone was NOT pleased with the idea so the "Cutty Sark" is now hors de combat !!!

Are there any fishing boats going over this year ??

I'd go by pedalo if I had to !

Any crossing could not be as bad as my first crossing in 1947 !!

It was awful since there were now stabilisers in them there days.

We all had to row !
