The owners were on board and declined assistance. They preferred to wait until the wind had eased.  No further damage was expected by either vessel.  Vessel Details Length:  13.00m Resources Attendees:  Chris Darch ChristopherPye james bass Peter Feely Trevor Burgess CRV's Used:  CRV Pelorus read more
