The ship is in excellent condition and celebrated its 65th birthday last Saturday with a cruise up to Loch Long and Loch Goil, unfortunately last Friday's trip to Rothesay was cancelled because of high winds, getting into piers like Kilgreggan and Dunoon on that cruise was just a wee bit too dangerous, it has crashed into these piers in the last few years.
Over the winter when it is berthed in Glasgow, a squad of volunteers work to have it in pristine condition for its summer cruises. These volunteers are extremely dedicated to the Waverley and without their help, there would be no Waverley.
I enclose a picture of one of the voluunteers, Barbara who is the lady sitting on the left of the picture
