those on the cherbourg trip have already commented but for the benefit of those tucked up with the sunday papers, the coastguard was reporting a container floating in the casquets TSS lanes on sunday.

too much to hope that the b******s who dropped it would be the ones to hit it!

as we approached plymouth on sunday there was a lot of shouting on the vhf- a german warship was trying to conduct a live firing exercise and a trawler was sitting in his range, ignoring the vhf. for some time it sounded as though the germans had a helicopter hovering over the trawler and he was still ignoring them.

perhaps they should have made themselves useful and sunk the container instead, or maybe a couple of pair trawlers :-)

Re: Not in TSS!

Might be a different one, suspect that if one fell off then its likely several did. You saw a a freezer which probably came from yet another sinking broken container.
