It was indeed a close shave, John. You should have seen the workers running out from under the ship when she started to run back. Cheers, Joe

I had a ringside view, Amelia. The workers had a lucky escape. The engineer from the Heritage Lottery Fund had to jump into the loch. They got him out ok. Cheers, Joe

Joe, Son of the Rock club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
I had a great view of the incident, Rosa. I saw all the workers running out from under the ship, and I saw the Heritage Lottery Fund Engineer being pulled out of the loch. The 'Maid' went up the slipway slowly, but went back into the loch very quickly. Thanks for your very kind comment. Cheers, Joe
