Saturday 6th November dawned bright and cold and members of HMBC turned out to sail on South Lake. Alas poor Bill - his boat sank and with it his sailing for the day.
Sunday morning saw the salvage team arrive in an attempt to resue Bill's tug. They called in the heavy gear as the helicopter hovered overhead to help with the rescue if needed. The tug was brought to the surface with its hatch covers loose but still in place. By lunch time the tug was ready for the dry dock. Salvage fees were still under discussion as one of the fenders was missing.
There will be another night event in conjuction with Hull Diving Club on December 1st.
As usual there will be hot and cold refreshments available.
Everyone welcome.
