Andy135 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 A lucky escape. What caused them to drift onto the boulders? Engine failure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 I believe it was engine failure, skipper sounds shook up on FB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike farrants Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 scary stuff - my mate was out that day and heard it unfolding on the radio - they quoted the wrong entrance (error in panic I imagine) - my mate was just 100m off the hood (where they were) but steamed over to assist at the North entrance - which was the location given on the radio - they were in fact on the Hood entrance (South) glad everyone was ok - scary stuff - especially in the hood corner in a fresh easterly!
