The Irsh Sea is a nasty place when the weather is bad. I had to get rescued once when we were towing a boat back from Skye and the tow cable snapped and got caught round our propeller, the sea was not as rough or high as it was last night but still scary.

the crews of the helicopters, life boats and coast gaurd should all be commended for their bravery!!

and 55 years later to the night that a ferry sunk making a similar voyage... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7219399.stm

Coincidence? I think not.

I heard a guy watching the screens in a famous high street electrical store say "LOL failboat" earlier.

Is it sad that it made my day?

They seem to think they will. There are a few high tides from wednesday 27 foot and a couple of 30 foot tides which will be there main chance to get her back afloat.

If they fail then i have no idea what they will do.
