Rugged Seas

There is always plenty to look at around Pittwater and there are plenty of things that catch ones eye because they seem odd. This was the case when we noticed a boat on a terrible list. We ignored it once we'd worked out what we were looking at. We'd decided it was one of those working barge type things that would no doubt be working on a mooring or a pylon, or similar. Yes, of course that was it, we could see the crane swung out over the side!

 

A few hours later we had a new point of view. The crane was definitely doing some lifting. It was involved in a salvage. A boat had sunk on it's mooring and here is the catch of the day.

We know nothing about it. Perhaps it sank during the East Coast Low that came through in April? In any event, the poor owner could hardly have imagined the fate of their craft when they were naming her!
