Just seen on the news that salvage operations are to start soon, apparently they are going to cut
her up using a serrated cable, then lifting the pieces on to a barge,
The operation is expected to take six months to complete, Because of the ammount of shipping in
the vincinity this has been compared to recovering a broken down vehicle in the middle lane of a
motorway,
Should be very interesting to say the least!!!!!!!!
Whats the odds on a major pile up occuring ?

Don't worry they are putting out cones and introducing a congestion charge within 1/2 mile that way nobody will venture anywhere near it.
This is not so silly I am sure that if a ship owner was fined if his ship went within half a mile of the wreck then somehow it would suddenly be possible to reprogramme the route round it.

So why cant this be done to the Varvassi off the Needles?

Varvassi

Varvassi is not a danger to shipping, only to silly bloody yotties, so they let it stay where it is - Yarmouth lifeboat needs the practise.

PS if you have any difficulty finding it, there a damn great lighthouse about a cable due east of it.
