    Yep, we took the Ocean Jet on the day this happened. Montenegro and one of the Jaylan lines were diverted to make the rescue. All happened around 4pm. The fire had been put out when the other boats had run up aside. But all passengers with luggage were transferred, no injuries, storm in a tea cup type of thing. Made for good viewing on the beach over a couple of cold ones with the trusty binocs. What I love about living here is the amount of "Jesus ko"s "kalooy"s and urgent telephone messages to this relative or that. It's the only time someone gets their skates on. I'd like to say "t*ts on a bull", but I can't.

    I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often than it does...
