Will it be plain sailing for Cabin Fever contestants?

CABIN Fever contestants will be told today whether they should pack their life jackets once more or drop anchor on their sailing careers for good.

The nine remaining contestants in the RTÉ reality TV game-show have been told to stand by for a call at midday to say whether the programme will resume. A green light could put them back at sea as soon as next week.

Another boat has already been sourced and programme makers are confident marine authorities will not challenge their licence to sail. But three contestants present a stumbling block as they remain to be convinced of the sense of continuing the venture.
