STINNES PASSAT

STINNES PASSAT came into port as BBC LEDA on April 28th and was in the process of having her name changed at Irvine’s Quay. On the second photograph you can see one of the crew on the bow painting the name. If you look close you can also see she was formerly known as CLIPPER NEWHAVEN. The newly painted name finally appeared on Sunday morning, May 2nd.

That's a really good example of painting up her new name, he appears to have a stencil (?) but working off a decidedly wonky platform, and it's a wonder that pot of white paint hasn't slid off and made a nice line all the way down her hull!

Yes, I believe he was working off a stencil and his plank was wonky. I was surprised the paint didn't fall into the dock - followed by him, too!

Had a jolly up to Hartlepool this afternoon you could certainly pick her out when the Sun was out, if you were quick that is, typical Bank Holiday weather. Ex HMS Watchful was open for business, never went aboard, a bit early methinks. Certainly quite a few in the Cafe unless you wanted to sit and freeze on her Stern.
