Post by: spo6666 on September 14, 2015, 13:41:47 PM

Can I ask, is the sinking boat still in the harbour and does anyone know what happened?
 ???

It's still there and it is such a sad sight.

All I heard from a nearby boat owner was the sunken boat owner was unable to afford the upkeep and repairs and it had been letting in water for some time.
No idea if that is actually true or not.

How long's it been there? I only noticed it recently.

Other landmarks that confused me:

"Dolphin roundabout" (now I know - I just think chemist/Huner bakery/Ametist pide/ATMs, or just "Tree roundabout"

and

"upside down bridge" Is that the newish one near Duck(-less) Island?

The sinking boat looked really sad today, I'm wondering what will when the first winter storm arrives.

I am surprised no-one has salvaged it.

Two divers where inspecting the boat today, there might be a move to salvage it before the winter storms set in.
