Just read the news that the Pasher Bulker has been pulled out to sea.
Another missed opportunity for a dive wreck (at high tide, anyway).
Seriously, a great effort by all, and a relief to
Newcastle.

You're worse than me Gramps. The better half reckons I'am a grumble bum. Mind you I agree with your comment about the re hash of the Dianna thingo which was half a century or so ago.
Cheers.

This fixation with Diana has to be unhealthy. She was definitely no saint.

I would really love to see the salvage operator's total bill for the job. It would look like a (std) phone number I reckon.
As an aside, I always thought an abandoned ship (which Pasher was at the height of the storm, on
the beach by helicopter) became the property of whomever boards it to effect recovery. I heard nothing of this happening to it. Perhaps the captain got back on before the salvage operators.

She wasn't abandoned on the high seas - she was on land !

Should be some interesting photo's come out of that.
