The Power of Nature

I’m saddened to see find my Stranded Trawler did not survive the power of nature. Numerous attempts were made to refloat her, a 200m sand bank made it very difficult for tug/s to get close enough. I went down this afternoon to capture it’s dying moments to find only the bridge in the surf. Unfortunately the South African Dept of Nature Conservation would not allow me in to photograph the remains. I persuaded them and explained that it would be the end of a series but to no avail.

Kind regards

Macky

    Oh Macky… that is so sad and its terrible that you were not allowed to record her last moments. :-(

  • Macky replied

    I left there so ‘deflated’ Avril, was like trying to knock blood out of a stone!!

    For Macky

    Silent Cry

    A battle it was on the tossing sea. The ship it danced so viscously. Many of hands worked so tirelessly. But freedom from shore it was not to be. And the waves touch soft as a mothers kiss. The bounding sea the craft shall miss. The story will pass from ship to ship. With Sailors tales over a nip. Soon its memory will pass on by. The gulls will call its Silent Cry…
