Flippen eck. shame it happened to that, could of happened to a brig or somettink like that.. ! good spotting Mr M

Its up the Stour River - about a mile from Christchurch Harbour entrance ...

I'm sure who ever owns it is aware as the moorings guys are good along there at keeping an eye out.

The trees there are big and are right on the river bank - so often seem to 'let go' into the river....

One to think about if you have mooring under trees or trees over the boat on a drive.

Wood you believe it!
Best branch out and leaf it alone dude!

Barking up the wrong tree if you ask me! Probably belonged to the special branch. I take it the owner was contacted by a trunk call!
It will all be in the log book.
