    They followed Tom Tom directions or the Captain forgot Mrs Captians birthday pressie and went back to buy her one?

  8. Even later breaking news: The IoW has broken loose from its moorings and is slowly drifting out into the Atlantic.

    Pictures to follow.

    I think some one forgot to tell the capt about bramble banks not being suitable for deep draught vessels. (I just read about it)

  11. Indeed. With the right tide, you can get actually get out and walk!

    Zed Gradually getting grumpier

    Looks like he was indeed heading for the wrong side of the island, someone pointed it out, he started to turn and ran aground. Most embaressing, even I know boats don't go that way past the IOW.

    It looks v grim :( they have still not found any of the crew. At least all the crew in the Solent are safe.
