Bye bye! So long and thanks for all the fish!
A fitting send off to a beautiful lady, escorted out of the Islands one last time by many small boats including our heroes in yellow, St Marys RNLI.
💙 The Scillonian III: loved by many, loathed by some. Whatever your feelings there's no mistaking an important piece of Scilly's, and our family's, history.
🚢 From first journeys away from the Islands, to final journeys home and everything in between: college, university, hospital, holidays, work, vets, weddings, births, funerals, birthday celebrations.
🌊 You name it, she's been there for it, and in many cases made it all possible.
💔 It is, as they say, the end of an era...
✨️ But with every ending comes a new beginning and no doubt Scillonian IV will be all this and more to new generations of Scillonians who will know no different.
A moment last for seconds, but the memories last forever. It's never goodbye. It's always see you later...
Fair winds and following seas...
