Boat sinks off Conwy

[BruceK]

Sorry to hear that Jon. Hope she's on the mend now. BigWow looks great, no gull shite which is remarkable because a monster Broom pulled it 4 boatlengths down today and within 4 hours the owner was chasing gulls of the deck and swabbing down. Helluva nice guy. Cruising round the UK, started in York in May and gone anticlockwise round.

Any news on the craft was it local as it has a French name and a parasel

As of this pm it was still on the rocks but with flotation bags attached.

She appears to be missing her anchor which implies she did drop the hook. I am intrigued now to know the full story.

We may be on the Saturday, we are going to a christening on the Sunday, Christine is the godmother. Our kids are going away with my parents on Tuesday, I am looking at maybe popping over to Ireland on the Wednesday and back on the Saturday. All weather dependant of course.

Slight thread drift....!
