    I'll bet some enterprising boat owners are already giving "Round the Ragged Reck*" tours.

    *other spellings of wreck are available.
     
  8. Has anyone any idea how they manage to run the generators on board, while at that angle?
    Does the lube oil pick up have a 'clunk' on it?

  9. I'm on red funnel car ferry Sunday. Cant see it moving by then now with the forecast. You can see it very clear from Cowes. I did a delivery to the royal yacht squadron.
     
  10. I was offered a sail round on Saturday on my mates Cat, but seeing the forecast is for 30 mph winds gusting 50 mph I probably can't make it.

  15. MCA: "The vessel has self-floated at high water and the intention is to tow her to a holding position in Southampton Water pending a full assessment of her condition. A decision on the next phase of the salvage operation will be made after the assessment. "
