Will the Pasha Bulker stay on the beach forever?

You can see it has moved about 6 degrees, and from all reports the Novacastrians are getting fed up with the gridlock caused by tourists and traffic, day and night. Watch it on live webcam here.

Cherry Venture - gone!

See you later old girl, it's been a lovely memory seeing you each year on the beach.

Fare thee well Cherry Venture,

back to the land now you go,

a life of sea and wind and salt

has left you long ago.

Fare thee well Cherry Venture,

no more the beach for you,

cut up and dismembered where you stand

your proud prow, now just a memory...

Was once a ship here?
