Neville Shute’s Yacht Wrecked

[AlanJeans]

"Trustee from the Toolroom" and "An Old Captivity" are my favourites!

I loved them all. He didn't write a bad one. 'No Highway', 'Requiem for a Wren' and 'On the Beach' were also big favourites.

On the beach could be rather pertinent to civilizationnow

Indeed, though the world was a much bigger place back then. I'm sure there would be CCTV footage they could check nowadays, rather than send a submarine

Has there been any updates on Runagate since March?

She is looking much more green. A yacht in the other half of Granton harbour which recently sank on her mooring after being holed by the sinker was quickly raised and has just been nicely repaired.

 

[TLouth7]

Yes but they're in Scotland.

I feel like this is a joke that Edinburgh isn't in Scotland but Fife is?

Not sure about Fife. Isn't it the Kingdom of Fife?

There's more chance of the wreckage being cleared from there, than if it had got to Charlestown, as intended, and joined the other wrecks already there in the mud. ?

Looks ripe for chopping up and adding to the wood store for next winters’ stove use.

No chance at all. Spoil dumped at it just a few months ago. Goodbye marina, too, I think. And moorings in western harbour?
