RIVERDANCE UPDATE
Tonight`s local tv news said that the owners [ Seatruck ] are meeting with the salvors tomorrow or wednesday with a view to salvage [ personally I think unlikely] or to cut her up on the beach.
The vessel is now sinking into the sand and now being on her beam ends being able to excavate around her would be difficult and dangerous.Having missed the high tides latter end of last week doesn`t help the situation.She is still a popular tourist attraction which has improved local revenue into the cafes and pubs.
I`ll forward updates when known .
Cheers and regards
