If you ckecked out the live beach cam you could see it rocking and turning back and forward slightly.

We will see but I didnt think it would be mooving at all except for closer to the beach in the next big storm or on trucks after they cut it up into little bits to ship to Japan and Korea.
Looks like there is a chance they might get it floating again.

Seen the Pasha transformer video on YouTube? that's kinda amusing...made by some good little computer geek!

It's almost swung around far enough to be pulled off apparently, although oil has been found on both sides of the vessel...

Check the cam. Looks like it's gone.
Hooray.

You (N/castle) guys would be happy, now it's gone. Just posted a couple of pics I got sent, not bad images, I thought.

Those pics are probably the best I've seen of the Bulka, Specially the first one. Gives a really good feel for the hugeness (is that a word) of it all. Great perspective, well done mate they are winning shots.
What equipment are you using there ???.

Ermmmm, sorry, I didn't take those pics. They were taken from a work-collegue of my wife's who works in Newcastle, I didn't mean for it to look like I took them, although I wish I had've, and I hope I haven't broken any copyright rules. As I put on the copyright note "friend of a friend".

I'll try to get the missus to find out what equip he was using, I know he's not a proffesional photographer, but I also though they were great pics.

Cheers.

No surf dude, have to wait till there are waves too check it out...
