Sunday at Redcar

Great day out and a little bit of excitement.
An inflatable and its crew had a bit of a problem. The tide was coming in

Ali...

This got in the local paper, with pictures (not as good as yours though).
Seems the inflatable was a dive boat from Huddersfield, and had already
broken down a quarter-mile offshore and been towed in by a fishing boat (a
coble, I presume); then they had the problem actually landing it.

Bill P...

Thanks for that bit of news Ali. I did wonder if they were local or not.

and about two hours to high tide. They were trying to get the boat out of
the sea,but something went wrong, They backed a boat trailer out to the
boat..winched it onto the trailer and then got the towing vehicle stuck.
Another vehicle tried to pull it out and that one got into difficulties.
Well the water was getting deeper. Out came a man with a tractor and
managed to get one of them out..Could not get the remaining vehicle and
trailer out. R.N.L.I to the rescue and dragged the rest of them out.

Rabbit...

Oh more exciting than a stick of rock. You did bring us rock didn't you
???:-)

I think *oh dear* or words to that effect are appropriate there, silly
billys :-)

Had a prob uploading these onto my website. Had to dissconnect wireless
thingy Router and go back to the old modem. Does anyone knows the answer to
the prob.?
Have not had cause to upload anything since I installed the Belkin wireless
network...must hav dun sumfink rong. :-)

Rabbit...

No idea, I'll leave that to the techies. Unless it's something to do with
passive ftp. I've got a Belkin router and in OE--tools--Internet
options--advanced. I've got *use passive ftp* ticked and have NP ftping

thread title I was expecting a tip for the 3-30. What interesting lives
