Sad day for someone’s Redbay

Looks like someone’s had a sad day on the west of Mull, glad they are safe and well.

calioch point is a fairly rough bit of water we passed through it on a calm day and there were standing waves I dread to think what it would be like with f5/6 blowing across it

Ouch!
Be interesting to see what comes out in the wash??...Mechanical Failure or (and) Fck up...that size Redbay is certainly very capable under normal circumstances.

..Traumatic for Crew involved for sure ...But NO casualties the BIG pluss!
