FAIL

The Lysblink Seaways has gone aground at Kilchoan, Ardnamurchan. The Tobermory Lifeboat is in attendance, and the emergency towing vessel Heracles is on her way from Orkney to assist. The power of internet breaking news.

I clicked on the AIS Marine Traffic website and there they were; all 3 ships a-sailing in. Well, apart from the Lysblink which perhaps shouldn't have blinked and was going nowhere. The Heracles was barrelling along at 14 knots off the coast of Scotland.

Then I clicked a bit more and found my nephew barrelling along at 7 knots , though under sail, heading for St Vincent in the Grenadines.

I think I know which boat I would rather be on!
