Today, at low tide, I walked out to the wreck of the boat off Vuda Point. I took a picture to share.
I talked with some of the crewmen who were in the process of preparing to have the boat towed off the reef. It seems that they had moored onto an anchor buoy which it used to secure much larger oil and gas vessels. Due to the force of the winds of Cyclone Mick, the anchor buoys dragged until the ship ran aground.
Fortunately, no lives were lost nor major injuries incurred.
Nearby First Landing Resort has been kind enough to put the crew in comfortable, land-based, rooms. We call them "bures" in Fiji.
