John Llambias' exercise. Conditions marginal. Wind easterly 5-6. Sea state 4. Despite this hooked into the wreck on the first pass. John and Eileen Kelly (National Coach for Northern Ireland) laid a distance line. We measured the depth of the ship's side and the distance from the foredeck and recovered all lines. Vis good - had some time to swim up and look at the bows. Conditions very rough on the journey back - boat swamped. | own. Boat: 4m Avon Searider. Out of its depth in the conditions. |
