Meh! - hopefully insured. What are the likely causes?

Battery not isolated - engine fire
Cigarette butt
Insurance job
Vandalism

Over Scilly I'd discount vandalism or an insurance job, they're pretty law-abiding folk over there but I have heard of one or two rival diving boats being sabotaged?

Nasty.....At least it was safe in Port.
Looks like deck Fuel tanks??...

According to BBC Radio Cornwall, she'd had some recent 'electrical work' carried out.

Dunno about that. The Landlord of the Fraggle Rock pinched a load of cash out of my wallet and left me with a bad head.
