Talking of missing . The plane never gets a mention on any news now. Like it's been brushed under the carpet

the problem is 70% of the world is water and thats big
when we sailed back from new york to southampton in january we saw a grand total of 1 other boat the whole week
its vast
RIP those poor lads on the yacht
a mate of mine has done a few trips delivering yachts and he reckons the biggest danger is hitting shipping containers that have gone AWOL
hit one and your boat especially under 50 ft is dead

Being lost in a vast ocean must bé the worse feeling a man can experience. The wife and i have just got back to our hotel in portsmouth after visiting the Mary Rose, still got Nelson's flagship H M S Victory, H M S warrior plus others to see yet. Ticket last 12 months so no hurry. Would highly recommend visiting the dockyard where they are all docked. Hard to believe that it only cost a £1 a ton ( 700 tons ) to build even that long ago.

yeah very sad loss of life RIP
its a good day out sean, we did the tour years ago of Portsmouth seeing the Mary Rose, H M S Victory and H M S warrior then the following day we went to Gosport and toured round the royal navy submarine museum, a very interesting and enlightening 2 days
there was lots of old battleships and the ark royal which we sailed past on the tour of the harbour
