Greek ferry crushes Bav40...

Full story here.

One down, 1378 to go.

The ferry story was made up for the insurers. That kind of damage happens to a Bav if you bump the pontoon a little heavily. One more fender would have saved it.

Have they established which boat was to blame?

Sailing snobbery?

 

[halcyon]

No, but the Bav was moored at the time?

what a strange choice of 'newspaper'

The Bav is on with a local broker now described as "end of season condition needing some tlc". /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[adelaidem]

looks like she ended up on the side of the dock going by that pic!

 

[Sans Bateau]

It was in the Telegraph as well.

Of course, it could be that the design, and stringent controls used during the building stages, contributed to their "miracle" escape.

Actually it was post an afternoon snack at the local Greek Restaurant .. apparently the boyfriend let one go afterholding manfully onto it for several hours whilst in the presence of the parents. Apparently his kegs did'nt get away unscathed.

lol

 

[Sans Bateau]

Now why would you think that?

 

[Guest]

but was it moored on the ferry terminal?

 

[brianhumber]

ohh you are awful ( with respects to Dick Emery ) /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Only one with a pic...

The Sun's online site was the only one with a decent pic of the Bav. Anyway, what's wrong with the Sun Online? It surely merits a look now and then, if only for the dreadful puns in the headlines!

No, but the ferry thought so!

Apparently ferry should have gone to wall 200 feet away, but took wrong angle entering harbour.

The other night I was telling SWMBO about the costs and realised I would have to content myself with dreams of the sun, no chartering in the sun this year, still if the longterm forecasts are OK may be better here?

Will show pics to SWMBO, she will prefer the east coast after that!!

Re: Only one with a pic...

But what if you don't like dreadful puns?

Anyway it seems the the ferry hit the Bav - ferry-nuff.
