Maiden is now in her beautiful new Cradle and is waiting for the ship that will bring her home.

She spends her final few days in the Seychelles looking out to sea, searching the horizon

and we spend our days here in the UK working hard to get ready for her arrival.

We estimate that her ship will arrive on 25th March and that she will leave the Seychelles the next day on the 26th March.

We will of course keep you updated for her arrival and hope to see as many of you there as possible.

It is hard to describe how we all feel right now – a real mixture of emotions; excitement and joy are prevalent but with a hint of sadness at how our brave 13th crew member has been treated.

She will need lots of TLC when she is home and she will get it…………….
