Boat sunk on Lea


Featured Posts

I've just spotted this on MSN News/Evening Standard.

Dreadfully sad, must have been awful and total sympathies to the young lady concerned.

The link is here

The comments within the article that concerned me were .....

-The student at the College of Naturopathic Medicine said a weed hatch, used to access the propeller, had accidentally been left open ......

-Miss Deakin, who had only rented the boat for a short while .................

-The owner of the boat, Robert Wright said the sinking “broke his heart”.

“I had the best seven years of my life on that boat - it was my baby,” he said. To Miss Deakin he said: “So happy you got her back up and I hope it all works out for you.”

 

Luckily there was no fatalities, and she got Freddy the Teddy out. 

I do wonder just how legal this rental was, and whether the more stringent rules etc. for a hire boat were in force?

The owner sounds like he's washing his hands of it regarding sorting out the devastation caused.
