    Not necessarily Cliff. She would have pumped ballast for the turn and that oil may be from the pumping.

    I reckon that is the case otherwise if her tanks were breached she'd be screaming for a defueller to minimise the cleanup costs.

    I only heard the early news today, haven't seen or heard anything other than the weather since, looks like I should go & turn on the late news.

    Looks like she either got free or sank in ten feet of water

    Great stuff. The last thing we needed was another ship rusting on the beach.

    Edit: Link here - she is free.

    Some sources suggest that the oil spilt was simply lubricant (hydraulic fluid ?) from the ships damaged prop ?

    Apparently she has been pulled well out to sea tonight. Hope the beaches are all right.
    Cheers,

    G'day,

    Bugger.

    I was hoping for something explosive , something like a catastrophe to happen, something out of Hollywood sort of thing, not-a-happy-slap-each-other-on-the-back-good-job-mate-well-done.

    Where's the cat? I need something to kick.
    I make things, I just take a long time.
