Lets hope we can avoid a repeat of last summers nonsense on Branscombe beach.

I missed out on that one, I was on the Bondi Beach at the time admiring the sites.

DW what about this Cornish wreck back in 2002 in Whitesand Bay

Note the shoreline to the right of the ship, that ain't sand it's wood piled up about 10ft deep

Here are some more pics of wood I saved from drowning

A lot of the planks I saved were 18ft long 2" thick, too heavy to lift on board so we towed it back to Plymouth :lol:

Well if you need extra crew this time give me a shout.

I want a new roof for my garage, Make a flat top out of 4x2 on edge would suit nicely.

PS. I have crewed before.

Hey that's great your Lordship, but I couldn't afford the collection vehicle. :lol:

I seem to recollect that we had a discussion similar to this recently about timber washed up on a beach, but I've forgotten what the legal position is. Is it freebie, does it still belong to the owner/shipper or what...any one know...Jake?

It was about the Branscombe beach thingy

It would technically be theft, but if it is just timber I can't see anyone giving a stuff (provided it isn't teak, ebony, etc). Environmentally friendly, saves the council the bother, etc. The importer/exporter aren't likely to want the salt-pickled wood back, and his insurer isn't likely to cover the costs of recovery.

Jake - thanks for that, an interesting read, just about this time last year -Rob

Could it have been caused by the Wakateers acting as SIRENS of the Dorset coast, :twisted:

now that is not a pretty thought, :lol:

Cheers Nigel
