Fundy Rose sea trials

The much awaited Fundy Rose was one step closer to entering service this morning when it embarked on day long sea trials. Refitting work is not completed yet, but must be getting close as a lot of gear on the dockside has been demobilized.

With the name Fundy Rose now appearing on the port bow (but not on the starboard yet), the former Blue Star Ithaki is looking very neat and clean. There is still no sign of Bay Ferries logo on the ship's side, but there is one blank spot where a new fender has not been painted yet.

 Returning from trails late this afternoon, the ship was a fine sight.
