First attempt did not succeed as high tide was 0.5m lower than when she went aground. After a session of excavation at low water, the next slightly better high tide enabled WENDY ANN, together with multicat CT VECTOR (ex-MTS VECTOR, IMO 8738330), over from Birkenhead, to tow her off.
CEG ORBIT to Douglas for bottom inspection.
WENDY ANN is 87 years young, with her current Mirrlees diesel engine reaching its half-century next year, and 25 years as the main Douglas port tug and jack-of-all-trades for Stephen Carter and his Laxey Towing Co.
