The Super SeaCat has only been back in service one week and is already having engine trouble - so much for the refit and overhaul.

It took four hours to Dieppe instead of two and had to be towed in by French tugs.

The 8pm sailing was cancelled, we missed our day out in France and it took four-and-a-half hours to get back to Newhaven.

Super SeaSlug, more like.
