Ten rescued from speedboat off Beaumaris
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7384519.stm

Just wondered if this was a RIB? 10 is quite a lot for a normal speedboat - the media wouldn't know what a RIB was unless it was on their BBQ.......

After the way I saw the mob at Baiter behaving on their skis yesterday I think the members of that forum need their heads holding underwater.
