FYI

The latest gossip in a Facebook Group...https://www.facebook.com/groups/1144424042253755/showing the Verity being rescued by the Dutch navy off Hartland Point.

Regards, Brian.

Verity is currently being towed/escorted to Swansea by the Bremen Fighter ( http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=1966436 )

If you look at the track of Verity yesterday afternoon on Marine Traffic, which I am not clever enough to post a link to, it seems that she was within two miles of the rocks at Hartland Point and drifting towards them at nearly 2 knots. Too close for comfort. Still shown as trudging towards Swansea at less than 4.
