The weather turned very rough in the PM..... most of the local charter boats came back in just after 14.00 hrs.. As you well know... the Bridge and Shingles... are not a place to be with 27 / 30kts of SW winds on a spring tide... It was a big wave came over the stern that caused the incident. Tomo

A very sobering picture of floating debris from the Dolicie-T, taken by Kevin, one of the crew rescued from the Dolcie-T yesterday, Oh so lucky people.. and good job done RNLI and Osprey 2 for being on the scene. Apparently she went down very quickly! Be safe Lad's and don't take risks..... Tomo

Lucky escape for 7 anglers today when local charter boat Dolcie-T from Keyhaven sunk today in the Solent. Osprey 2 another charter boat seeing the event unfold was able to pick up all anglers and crew from the water. The boat sunk quite quickly. All crew and anglers where able to put on life jackets. The RNLI attended and spent the rest of the afternoon recovering wreckage. Two of the rescued are suffering from hypothermia.

Yes Adam... we wanted to conserve the fuel otherwise it would have been wot... we were running the Yama's at 4300 rpm... so we had another 1700 in reserve... Tomo

Scuse me Paul D...we moored along side Dave's new boat... not bumped into him. ..not the right nautical terminology.. Tomo

Manta Ray and crew will be leaving early Sat 7th... not to nice mid channel today...so will meet up with some Poole Bay Boats tomorrow... I have Paul D as fuel superintendent (donkey) and interpreter... so what possibly could go wrong. Tomo

Your more than welcome to buddy up, but I think we may be to far east as we are departing from Lymington. Tomo

Thinks you might have to plan a Guernsey Trip as accommodation is very scarce in Alderney.. I had trouble for our crew on those dates, we are split between 3 venues.. Tomo
