HMS Scylla Sinking Plymouth This Weekend
Does anybody have the latest news on the Scylla?

We are planning to drive down Friday evening, go for a cruise of the area Saturday morning, get some lunch, then watch the sinking Saturday Afternoon. Then cruise again on Sunday, maybe the odd dive.

Is anybody else planning to be there?

Fantastic weekend, and despite a 2 hr wait the sinking was worth it. Sorry we did not meet up with anybody, there was so many boats there was little chance. Thanks to those people that recommended the Mayflower Marina, did the job nicely.

Here are some pics. For more see
