Cabin Fever boat will set sail with two new contestants

TWO new contestants have been called up to join the crew of the reality TV programme Cabin Fever, which the producers expect to be back on air next week.

A replacement boat for the Carrie, which sank off Tory Island two weeks ago, has set sail from England and is scheduled to dock in Sligo tomorrow where it will undergo a Department of Marine inspection.

A prompt all-clear could see the round Ireland voyage resume early next week with six of the original contestants on board being joined by two new reserve shipmates.
