loribear Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 hi all i don't know if anyone has seen the EDP paper today but a boat caught fire,here is a pic,[attachment=0]002.PNG[/attachment] apparantly boat owners tony tibbit & his wife alison were in the boat at the time, at beccles quay, just off gillingham dam near bridge street, the couple had decided to take their boat CLEO out for a short trip, they got about 50 yards from the boarding when there was an explosion & then the engine caught fire,his wife jumped out of the boat & a passer-by on another boat came to help, he said that he was ok but his was devasted as they'd spent alot of money doing it up, the couple both suffered burns & were treated by ambulance crews ,it says that fire crews managed to put the fire out before it sank, it is rather a devastating story, it must be really upseting to watch your boat burn & sink like that, my heart really goes out to them both, lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
