    manly's strickern vessle

    looks like the owners of the boat that has been sunk off the manly leads for the past month decided to move it in shallow futher north,but today while i was down there i saw it was leaning against the wynnum ck rockwall......must have broke its chain in lastnights wind........if it bangs against the wall for another night i cant imagine there will be much left.
    apparently there was a right up about it in lastweeks wynnum herald where they also asked if anyone new anything about it.......

    It turned up there on Saturday, before the wind kicked up. Not sure about broken mooring - it looks abandoned to me. Would have preferred them to sink it a little futher out to make for some decent structure.

    I reckon it was a metre chop in the creek down there today! Thx for the pics. If it is abandoned and the owners can't/won't be found, who is responsible for clearing it away? Its a bit of a temptation for kids at low tide.

    i bet there will be a few people in it today as you can get on it from the wall.....its a good sized boat i wonder if its worth spending any money on?

    There was a write up about it in 'General Chat' a few weeks ago that was moved to 'Test Board' i think...

    A fellow AF'er overheard the 2 blokes responsible for it down at the MBTBC talking about it and what had happened. Best probably NOT to touch their boat i would recommend based on what i read in that thread...
