The GTO XXV struck rocks off the beach at Brenton-on-Sea last week.

Salvage experts from Singapore company Posh Semco are preparing to refloat
the barge Margaret, which ran aground at Jacobsbaai in the same storm. The
barge is high and dry on rocks. (see pictures Jacobsbaai 1 - 3 in previous
post.)

Thanks for the drama. The power of the wind and waves is something to
