Today I was supposed to write my blog about our adventures yesterday in East Dumore which is the anchorage port for Waterford.
However due to our scheduled mid day arrival and late depature from Newport Wales I cannot make it.
Especially as my afternoon time was fully filled with:
1. The Mayor of Newport
2. Chief Executive of the Port
3. Ladies from the Tourist organisation
4. BBC tv
5. BBC radio.
Thus today the Prinsednam was world famous in Wales.
For your viewing pleasure:

I will be back tomorrow.

Is there are chance of you doing a late report on Dunmore East. I have been following this thread avidly as we are doing the Greenwich to Greenwich sailing in August and had particularly wanted to read Leith, Dublin and Dunmore Easts.
Here’s hoping.

Nice to see your ship in motion, Captain. I did turn on the website you suggested. Looked like you were dragged backwards by a tug? The Prinsendam is a beautiful ship in my opinion, Captain; she still has the ‘classical’ lines that appeal to me the most. I hope the money chiefs don’t mess her up with more glass and brass …

Loved the BBC link – it was nice to hear see the interview with you – I’ve been reading your blog for a few years and have never heard you speak!

Thank you for the BBC link, from Wales, I have forwarded it to my family who still live quite close to Newport, just in case they missed it.
We look forward to our 38 days with you in October. and hope the weather will be better.
