Ben My Chree update.


VesselTracker AIS shows the St Piran towing the Ben My Chree approx 12 miles off Land's End at 1900 hrs.


The Ben My Chree has stayed afloat in the traffic seperation zone off Land's End and deemed a hazard to shipping. The Cornwall Sea Fisheries vessel, St Piran now has a line aboard the stricken fishing boat and is attempting to tow her back to Newlyn.


After being rescued for the second time in his career, skipper Steve Hicks says,"I'm 56, that's it, I've had enough" and does not intend returning to sea.
