Worse things happen at sea



It is always sad when a boat, especially a large and fashionable yacht of it's time, dies.
At leat this one that had burnt to the waterline off Redland Bay made it to the salvaging truck before it completely sank. It did not, as so many do, another marine hazard leaking pollution into the Moreton Bay fishing grounds and marine park.
Meanwhile around the other side of the bay, yesterday was a 14' tinny complete with its 30hp Mercury engine locked in the down position, bashing it's heart out against the seawall. The anchor was out but obviously dragged. It was packed to the gunnels with camping equipment and a very nice depthsounder GPS clearly visible. The Police were informed
Again remember that the arthritis don't necessarily know about strange sights like these. Always consider having a chat with the Brisbane Office of Marine Safety on 07 3632 7500. Who knows, you could be saving a life or someone a lot of financial stress.
