Boat rescue at Cervantes.
Submitted by allrounder on Tue, 2012-01-03 07:24
Eight rescued at Cervantes.Well seven including two children went to kangaroo point in a tinny under their own steam and the skipper was rescued off the sinking boat by another vessel.Looks like they hit the seven footers.No one hurt at least.

Drifted onto reef
Just saw the news. It was a $1.2m yacht drifted whilst at anchor onto reef. Was not insured - what a waste!!!!!!!

And he wanted to run a commercial charter op
with this boat and that was supposedly the reason why he hadn't insured as it was "between" insurers
Would catch me aboard if that is an example of his skippering skills.
