The broken down boat.....


Spotted this little boat right in the middle of the main channel.   It appears to have an anchior down,   if it wasnt broken down he could have gone an extra few hunder meters and picked up a mooring bouy and got out of the way of the main channel.

It's a shame the forum resizes these shots as you cannot see in this version that its got an anchor down.

That is true.
And for a drone forum it is a bit of a shame.

Very nice shot DA.    He is definitely anchored in a precarious spot in the channel.

Yes,  Its hard to tell from the shot but thats the deep section where the land is marked with red/green buoys.

No doubt was an emergency break down.  I hope he gets it fixed or towed and then fixed before any accidents happen, especially on a foggy morning.

He wasnt there today so he must have got help or fixed it.

That's definitely good news.

Nice spot.  Is he in distress, or just fishing?  

Very interesting!

My guess was he put down the anchor and was broken.   You wouldn't normally stop in the middle of the deep water.

A job for the coastguard maybe.
