Oi, Ruch! Don't make me (and the story) older than I (it) have (has) to be! That would be about ... 52 years ago. I'll have a poke around the local museum for any press coverage. Have you been to our mini heritage village? Petit and bijou. And does a fine cup of tea with scones and jam.

Leeneia, thanks for the science lesson. I am a self confessed duffer in these things. I just remember that something involving the silos could have gone kaboom.

I thought the bit about 'treacherous waters' was pushing it just a tad as I assumed it kept fairly close to shore. I know we have a few dangerous currents, but not like Lake Huron or Superior. Still, it was a big trip for a li'l boat so ... more power to its elbow.

I hope I can get on board but, even if it's just a view from the pier, it will be very interesting!
