The tug Independence shelters off Porthleven.

Tug Independence anchored off Porthleven at 0800.


Picked up by VesselTracker's AIS, the tug Independence shelters off Portheleven after a stormy night escorting the Fryderyk Chopin from south of the Scillies in a south easterly gale. Latest news reports indicate that the sailing ship is still under tow by the fishing boat Nova Spero and headed for Falmouth and not Plymouth as first reported.

What a night they must have had - I was watching on the Marine Tracker and their course was unbelievable - lots of zig zagging and even figure of eights. Pleased they've all had a rest before rounding The Lizard. Sue Mason
