Seen that earlier alright thumbs up now that is definately a shout that was worth saying lives were saved,they were not sitting on mud or rocks and not making it to the pub before closing etc.. I notice all paperwork was saved by the skipper for the impending insurance claim,the video should suffice!!!
well done to the brave volunteers involved.

I could'nt help wondering if the reason she was sinking was a burst raw water cooling pipe and if stopping the engine could have have saved her. Can't imagine she was holed.
