and there were hundred of other boats there as well, plus thousands on the shore.
An old danish ferry was sunk in just West of the entrance to Svendborg Sund. The ferry was fully stripped, and prepared to be sunk, and is now good dive spot.
At first the ferry very slowly came deeper and deeper, and once the water reached the additional hull openings cut for the controlled sinking, and for safer access for divers it wen vey fast. One minute, and she was gone.
I have found a vidioclip and although the sound is terrible it does show it very well : http://nyhederne.tv2.dk/2014-10-05-video-se-danmarks-sidste-jernbanefaerge-synke-paa-et-minut
Some divers had placed vidio equipment onboard the ferry, and here is a vidioclip taken from onboard while she goes down, and the divers collecting the equipming right after the sinking. http://www.fyens.dk/svendborg/Video-fra-foerste-parket-Gaa-ned-med-AEroesund/artikel/2583954
Hope the links work well.
After the ferry was gone we headed home, and arrived at our home Marina at 2200 hrs - first in a pretty nice sunset and fair wind, but as it became dark wind increased to a bf 5-6 and turnedmore and more to full beam sea. The sea is not always nice to you :encouragement:
