Splash!

lets just say - somebody got very lucky holding his cell right on the yacht in the right moment - i think that's what's photography all about isn't it?

I think many hearty thanks surely must be in order for the gent that snapped these pics. They have undoubtedly brought many newbies to the forum to have a look at the photos.

Carl, I wonder if it might be interesting to see how many new members sign up for the forum in the one week period following the original post, and then compare to how it stacks up historically in terms of other weeks of high activity. My thought here is that perhaps, if a record is broken, there might be a reward for the photographer and original poster in terms of some YF gear or something of the like?

Just my two cents

Wow, really hurts to see such a picture. Is it possible to get the high-res version somewhere (alternatively: ogeg2000de[at]gmx.de)? I read the whole thread, but didn't find a reference to the high-res pics.

Ensuing suing!

I heard about this one last week in MC, it has evolved into a classic tale of woe with many questions and answers needed to resolve what I suspect is an insurance write off with non-qualified crew and poor equipment used meaning a distinct possibility of non payout and ensuing law suit. In my experience it pays to keep it simple, leave the experts to handle these unloads and use only the Best known independent arrangers, paying a little more for better service ensures no headaches! My thoughts are with the company that arranged this, its going to be an expensive summer for them!

Well, thank God the lawyers will all be able to make their boat payments.

How Unfortunate

This really is an unfortunate accident and I feel for those two guys on the aft deck - how terrifying! Glad they survived it with only minor injuries.

The only splash we hear is of our divers going in the water to secure the supports...

2778 at 11:08 today! Seems like we keep eclipsing ourselves.

Now, now, it's not like Dockwise never has accidents:

Boy these guys are real yachtsman!! They don't even have dock lines or fenders out.

I've moved boats that were just delivered off ships, and most times there is no place to tie up a pleasure boat near by....plenty of places with cement and steel bulkheads with tire fenders but nothing you would lay a new boat like this against. So you usually dont need lines or fenders untill your away from the ship.

Hey now! I don't believe that Dockwise has ever dropped anyone else's boat though! Doesn't count if your own gets a little low!

Leaving on Dockwise early tomorro if all goes as planned

Not me actually, just me boat...

Hi RoyN
Where are you going to disembark when DYT gets to the Med.
Palma or Toulon. By the way did you get my private mail on Agents that i used

Hey Graham, we'll be unloading in Toulon, hopefully around the 30th if there isnt any delay... fingers crossed

The Mighty Servant 3 has been resurrected and will be back in service in no time. By the way, she is a heavy lift ship, not a yacht carrier.
