Indeed - let's see what the MAIB say....

Sounding like the boat may have been full of dog cages

The saving grace, is that they were on their way to fetch the pups, not on their way back. I'm guessing that the world is ever so slightly a better place than this time last week.

I've read the press reports...all speculation at this stage.

Don't think we we should judge the individuals or the circumstances until the facts are known.... -on one hand people are lambsting radio for ill informed radio debate, on the other nearly celebrating as those involved MIGHT have been involved in a puppy smuggling ring.

Two people have died on the water and no one knows why yet.. Bit early for judgement I'd say

You've confused "properly basted" with "a proper basting"...
