Monika Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Somebody told us (on our stroll along Swanage Beach and seeing the Ferry come past Old Harry Rocks) that the Ferry had a huge gash along its side. Just being nosey: was anybody from the Forum on the Ferry when it was obviously "parked" rather roughly!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastines Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hope that's not the Barfleur as we use it a lot and could do without it being out of service? Ex Bournemouth by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monika Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 Yes it is Barfleur, Gastines, let's hope it is not too serious so that they have to take her out for repairs, we need her for Easter, and she is our favourite Ferry too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alnmike Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 oh - and she's only just been serviced too . . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FerryGuru Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Not sure which ship they were looking at. The Barfleur has no dents or gashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJS Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I have checked and there is no damage to Barfleur - may be someone should have gone to specsavers?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monika Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 Very strange, just shows you, don't believe everything a stranger tells you on a stroll along the beach!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monika Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 Mystery is solved, this is "insider information": apparently Barfleur had a great streak of black oil/tar down her side w, which has been washed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
