Another nightmare, second Brixham boat this month :-(

[mike k]

I hope they find him, were they sprating ? I thought i saw here just out of the bay this morning on my way to work.

Yeah sprats Mike, can't have changed over too long ago, they were scalloping down here only a few weeks ago

[Martin Johns]

They had just started spratting again at the end of August after having a full refit at Galmpton.

Confirmed in the press that the missing man is Geoff Ingram the skipper owner of the Sarah Jayne. He was 20 year lifeboat man who had been decorated for his brave service.

I'm afraid so, Exmouth lifeboat stayed until the bitter end, he'd been on her crew for 20 years. Can only think he was trapped in the wheelhouse, like you say terribly sad
