Just off the phone after a desperately long wait until a person became free due to unprecedented numbers of phone calls.....

Going over is the same but I'm allocated 3AM on Race day Friday so I'll be over in Liverpool when the race is on !!

I booked last year with a bigger deposit than normal, to secure the sailings I wanted and I have to be back home on Saturday morning for personal reasons.

Anyone willing to SWAP a 3AM for a 6PM sailing on the Race Friday PLEASE ???

I am told that the staff at IOMSPCL are receiving some abuse, some of which is quite nasty....

All because the ferry they have booked is smaller than they planned..

What happened to all those ferries that used to leave on the Friday and clear the Island in an organised way..

( I was right about the "Cutty Sark" then !!)

Could the IOMSPCL draft in a vessel just for the weekend ??

I despair !!
