Thats what the Doc said when he looked at the X Ray of my arm

The evidence is all supposition, but boat looks right and it was a large unlit steel bouy of 20 tonnes

Mmm, I wondered if it was 'that' Rib that hit a bouy.
That means its been sitting about for quite some time.

There are a couple of posts here alluding to the fact that this may be the wreck of Kieron French's RIB.

Wrong layout, and wrong pattern of damage.
