A bad days fishing has got to be better than any day at work......
From ABC news
"It is understood the boat was the MV Norval, which overturned and caught fire about 9.00am at Rock Cod Shoal, about 20 kilometres off Gladstone."
Fairly unlikely it overturned then caught fire! Perhaps the other way around. Good to hear everyone made it off safely.
Isnt that one of the liveaboards that goes to the Swains..?
Lucky it didnt happen out there...
