“The damage was in connection to a seawater ballast tank, there was never any danger for the crew or the vessel."

Thank goodness. Still, this comes to show you just how unpredictable the ocean can be.

As you say, odd that they hadn't hit it before coming in and out of Loch Uiskevagh.

Their draught is supposedly 5.1m, so I don't think I need to worry about it too much.

Must be quite a lump of a wee hill on the bottom, since most of the surrounding water is about 25m. Not one to get excited about I think

What about a Bluemoment sponsored expedition to see if we can find the fekker?

I'll be up that way at the end of June, might just have a look for the sake of curiosity
