Sad looking boat at Shotley

Tidy looking long keeled yacht on her side, high and dry on the beach just upriver from the marina. From the number of people notifying the tower I assume someone's trying to contact the owner?

That'll be the Stella that got ashore on the ebb while trying to get out of the tide in a race around 1100. By the time help arrived she was too hard on to risk towing off so they decided to wait it out for the evening tide which I guess was between 2200 and 2230, Hopefully they're back home by now.
