When Middy gets home from her Indy cruise tomorrow, we shall have to see if there were any problems on board

I agree though, the Curse of Camilla does seem to be working overtime....just a little

Default Queen Victoria Touched Up !

Hi

It looks as if they had the paint brushes out to touch up the stern of the QV while she was at Gibraltar.

From the latest pictures of the damage it looks as if it will be a dry-dock job to repair her stern but as far as I can see there is no breaks in her schedule before the end of the year which will no doubt mean a cruise being cancelled or shortened.

The ' Boss ' left QV to join his private yacht, Sirona III which is pictured below and was also in Gibraltar.

I think it looks even bigger now that the dent has been 'touched up'. What a mess

Nice yacht though
