[svBeBe]

News for those of you that know Dale on Iddyle 6 (a/k/a beneteau-500)

The Kyrenia police department in the TRNC informed a friend of mine that Iddyle 6 has sunk yesterday at 20 miles from Kyrenia. The TRNC coast guard found Dale this morning in the dinghy or life raft. He is ok.

That is all I know.

I know the boat and I can guaranty you that there was no UFO involved.

So it was a hull failure not a collision with a container/log etc...

Bummer.

Speculation usually leads to rumours.

Untill we know if ever the facts best just to say thank God that Dale is safe.

There were SEVERE storms that day/evening on the coast where he was rescued.

He could have been demasted and then poled through no fault of his own. I hope we won't play the speculation game with one of our own. He's safe, and that's what coounts.

I'm glad to hear Dale / Bene 500 is ok. He seemed to have a wealth of info on the Med. Bad luck.

No speculation... more an interest.
