Denny, I'm not sure we have heard anything definite on the status of the Callaway returning to service this year. She is indeed due for her 5-year, but probably will not know for sure if she's going to be back out until she is moved onto the blocks

As far as the Callaway & Clarke are concerned. The Callaway is in dire need of steel work, that's been put off for too long, that's it end of story!! The Clarke if needed is ready to sail, but that depends on the demand for product. The Blough is still under investigation period! And that's the BOTTOM LINE on those three subjects.
