Not Southern. but very Suspicious.

There was a time in Greece when after much Retsina, I packed my bag and shouted - ‘That’s it! I’m leaving!’

I made it as far as the cockpit before I passed out and spent the next week with my head on a rather strange angle. Sleeping with your neck cricked against a cockpit combing will do that. But even in my angriest moments of working for a Flotilla company, I never felt the urge to tie the Skipper to the mast and sink the boat. Turns out, it might just be a possibility.

Here’s what the Mirror reported:

Family of dead Brit found tied to sunken yacht off Crete 'fear he was murdered' Former Navy officer Hugh Kerr Bradley Roberts, 74, was found dead on his 30m yacht in the port of Souda, Crete, and his pet dog, called Friar Tuck, was "trying to hold on to the wreckage" to avoid drowning.

Of course it goes without saying, this is a truly horrible incident. But it’s a story that caught our attention and we must admit, our imagination. What happened the night the Coral of Cowes sank? What’s going to happen to Friar Tuck and the 12 cats and three dogs Mr Roberts has left behind?

Any thoughts? Comments below.
