A fishing boat looks to have sunk on her mooring at Mylor this morning. Mylor webcam in full flow.

Can't get a picture on the link. What colour/size boat?

 

[sailorman]

A sad sight
it looks to be quite windy the way that blue boat is swinging about
I wonder who insures her

She's white, but there's only about three feet of her visible.

A blue/ yellow cabin top workboat with a hiab just went past

 

[fisherman]

I wonder if I need to enable something, it won't 'show picture'.

 

[sailorman]

She has large name letters on the bow in blue in a flowing font but all under water.
sorry if the camera was all over the place, it was my turn to control it

Blowing like b*ggery here in Liskeard.

The Hiab boat looked unstable even before they started taking some weight.

 

[Dipper]

They secured the sunken vessel alongside, took some weight with the Hiab and went off to the right but the camera didn't follow. You have to admire how they just got on with the job with no messing about. That probably took them less than half an hour.

Pan right cameraman!

 

[Ru88ell]

Blimey. They're doing well. How did they get the strops on?

Sorry sight but they are dealing with it. I believe it's an Atlantic Fisher from St Ives.
I'm down in Mylor.

Apparently he thought that he hit a rock yesterday but didn't think the boat was damaged. So that may be the cause.

That will help with Ins exclusions then

Trying to bale it out with a bucket. Surely not?

 

[Dipper]

They don't hang around. It's now upright and tied alongside the pontoon and a calm man with a bucket is bailing it out.

Looks like Ken the drivers boat behind, simple to get the strops on.

Don't knock the bucket, she's rising quickly out of the water! I suspect a small pump is at work somewhere out of view.
