Spoiled for choice last saturday, Kingswear Castle and Balmoral both visited Southend pier.
Difficult choice but KC won due to Balmoral being here several times this week and the last of the hot sunshine (also, wasn't sure if Balmoral would be fully booked at the previous port-of-call)... KC being an open boat, I had to make the most of the weather, I'll go on Balmoral next weekend - even if it rains, I can always stay inside 

A few pictures (none from the outside though, KC was already there and waiting to sail as I arrived) one shows the model of Golden Eagle in the aft saloon...

it might help if I attach them...
