Denis, Great viz and you caught the tide perfectly. I am always hoping to get a bow shot like that but whenever I am on the 'Garry the current means having to stay in the lee of one side or the other or risk being swept away. To echo Lauren below, I took some video of her and it so happened that in the house where I was staying there was an elderly gentleman who as a young lad had helped to search for survivors of the wreck so he was able to see her again after about 50 years on my laptop.
I would like to thank you for giving us as a family the opportunity to see this. As we have recently discovered that our great grandfather was a member of the crew, Robert Fletcher (presumed drowned 21st Jan 1942)
