Stranded
yacht towed to safety in Burnham-On-Sea
 Storm-force
winds and high seas left this 33 foot yacht stranded on a river
bank in Burnham-On-Sea this week.
The
yacht Quodos - owned by Burnham businessman Colin Morris - was
tossed onto the southern banks of the River Brue, as pictured
here, after the 70mph winds caused it drag its moorings at Burnham
Sailing Club's pontoons.
The
yacht floated down the estuary and was eventually left 'high and
dry' on a river bank.
Relieved
Mr Morris told Burnham-On-Sea.com on Wednesday (March 12th): "We
managed to relaunch it on the next high tide by towing it free
with a speedboat owned by one the Sailing Club members. It's now
firmly tethered to the pontoons!"
