Oh dear look whats happened tonight in the Solent

Oh dear somebody will be thumbing through the 10000 excuses handbook.....

 

I think they still play cricket on the bramble bank each year at a spring low tide! Maybe the captain wanted to get some practise!

oops I hope they strap the cars down well inside!

 

Don't mind them doing that on the way out of Port, just not before they get there.

 

My guess is he realized had gone the wrong side of the buoy, tried to do a u turn and hey presto. Stuck

 

Scottish ship, last I heard they called of search and will start again this morning.

This time of year in those cold waters its not going to be a good outcome.

 

Never be a sailor if your balls hang low.

 

Agreed, it's mighty dangerous at sea, if something goes wrong you can't just step off. A good friend of mine was drowned when the keel snapped of the racing yacht he was crewing on. It was the first time he'd sailed on the sea. It was enough to stop my sea sailing in it's tracks (along with the idiot dismantling the steering on the cat).

 

I'm part way through watching Titanic at the mo, I've got feeling it isn't going to end well
By the way, is the line "I saw the iceberg, and I see it in your eyes..." The worst line ever in a movie?

 

Just on the news - crew was Polish and Filippino

 

Here it is from Calshot, think this is high tide aswell so theyre fooked!

 

Ooops. Might nip down tomorrow for a nosey. I don't think it's going anywhere...

 

Yes I will head down and have a look if it's still there on Tuesday

 

put a line on it , scrap is good at the mo , beggars belief really , surely their sonar should have warning signal ? As said the scottish one not so lucky .

 

Got to be quick if you want to get a few runs in!

 

English twits at their best.....

 

I wouldn't want to be a fielder !!

 

Spent many happy hour going up and down the Solent as a watch keeping officer on the RNs last dedicated navigational training frigate. Also been past that way several times recently whilst having a days sailing from Southampton to Cowes for lunch and back. Well marked channel and with GPS surprised this has happened.

 

Apparently they had a pilot on board. Bet he's popular...
