A Spanish fishing boat, the Enxembre, has been released from detention at Ullapool harbour. The boat had been formally detained after crew complained that they had not been paid. An officer on board stated that he had not been paid for 4 months. A bond of £75k has been lodged with sollicitors by the various parties, to be held until the dispute is settled.

Wednesday notes
Rainy day today, not very good. Mind you, was awoken by the full moon shining in overnight. No hurricanes at present, except for a nascent typhoon in the middle of the Pacific. The Mexican Pacific coast will want to watch developments to their south; and there are two areas in the Atlantic to keep an eye out for.

Wish I could send you some of our sun & heat. The weather guy is telling us it's supposed to be in the high 80's today. Linda in Washington
ReplyDeleteIt held off all day here in the Lakes and up in the Borders where we went for the day. It was pretty sunny but grew cold later on in the afternoon. We now have ominous slate grey clouds back home but no rain as I type.
ReplyDeleteHow awful for those crewmen not to have been paid for so long! How on earth have their families been managing?

I caught that lunar eclipse too, was a bit like March's, only not as clear. Didn't know harbor police could detain a vessel if a crew is left unpaid, interesting. Good thing they spoke up. CATHY
