Cruiser catches fire on Moreton Bay

[levinge]

Did anyone catch the story on the News, big cruiser caught fire from an underfloor fire, looks like they couldn't put it out and had to abandon ship.

Hope they weren't Ausfisho's!!!

Firies weren't nearby so the vessel ended up burning to the waterline.

Sad to see any vessel go that way...

Hope his insurance company doesn't find this info out or it might not be cutting a cheque to him!!!

Hope all on board are safe. Talking about Insurance companies, they even check chat sites like My Space to check out people out as well - thats the thing about the internet I guess - everyone gets to read what people put up. Cheers, Darren.

Brown stains would have been in more places than the side of the boat when she went up!! looked pretty bad. glad they are OK!!

Guess Moreton Bay now has a new artificial reef, wonder if the VMR and Water Police have the mark???
