    Apparently the tug which has arrived to tow her to Turkey has been arrested and impounded as not being seaworthy. Oopps

    Just heard she is leaving tomorrow about 1100hrs, the tug now appears to have passed inspection. Would have thought there would still be quite a swell after today.

    Sent for scrap no doubt for the money, though I doubt it will be much.
    Why not do what we do here in OZ, take them a couple of knots off shore and sink them. It is considered here to be a mark of respect to do so rather than scrap. They then become homes for the fish and divers.
    Happy daze John in Oz.
