    Looks like we better get a snatch strap collection started and one or two landies to free it.

    Can't beat a good grounding! We need another Cherry Venture. I wonder why the discussion (I hear on the radio) is to 'rescue' the crew. Wouldn't they be safer inside the ship, (its obviously not going to sink) than being winched to a helicpoter in the midst of a huge storm?

    This story will no doubt become very interesting, but I had a quick look at the TEN news 1100 am. After five minutes of Paris Hilton and then various other 'news?' this story and the flood around the Hunter, got less than a minute.

    Hmmmmm.....priorities.....

    Yeah, surf's up!
    Stuff I'm hearing on the local radio:
    'A buoy measured a wave at 17 metres.'
    '3 other ships in trouble, one is only 1.3 ks off the coast, engines going flat out and is only just holding position.'
    'Choppers crew safely winched all crew from the 40,000 tonne bulk carrier.'

    Very brave guys.

    ...meanwhile, a few hundred ks north, its a bright sunny day, amazing.....
