That Ship off Brighton

[Stoichkov]

Been there now for about a week. Bobbing about on its own.

Do you think someone should go out there and see if they're okay? Not me, I haven't got a boat.

Maybe its like a modern day Marie Celeste or they've fallen victims to Pirates?

I got my 400 metre swimming badge, should I go?

No, you'll drown. It's comfortably further than 400m. I reckon 3km off shore.

Only NSC swimmers who can cover this distance should apply. Or those with a boat.

I bet it's had a visit from pirates.

I could go if you want, I'm quite tall so I could walk out further than most people thus leaving less of a distance for me to swim.

T'uther half and I did our usual Ovingdean constitutional yesterday and quite a way out we swam past a blue wet suit glove vertical/upright in the water, its fingers reaching out above the surface. The water wasn't clear enough to see if there was anyone attached to the glove and being a bit freaked we didn't want to get too close and carried on past it. On the way back we passed the glove again, still upright in the water and I gingerly swam closer and pinched one of the glove's fingers, which felt solid, as if there was something in it (although it was probably just water) at which point I let out a girly scream and we made for the shore with the freaky glove waving us on.

So You just left the dead diver floating there in the sea !

I got my 20m badge at King Alfred. But I touched the bottom twice and didn't tell anyone

Couldn't we just get Kuipers to walk on the water and have a nosey?

Good idea, He is a Dutch Marine and when he get's there he could cook them dinner !

My thoughts exactly! My g/f told the lifeguard on the beach who told her she'd been reading too much Stephen King.

Good idea but what makes you think he can cook?

I can see it from my bedroom window, and I've been wondering what it's doing there too.

It certainly looks like the one in the photo posted.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Why don't we just wait for a low tide.

 

[bright1064]

Headed for Malta apparantly! It's not in any hurry that's for sure, it's been there for AGES!
