Hi Tony. I expect that the authorities will be keeping a close watch on the progress of Cape Don. If they are up for $5mill to remove Barragoola, with the "owners" having done a runner, they will be extra wary about a repeat. I must say though, she looks in better shape than Barragoola did towards the end.
Cheers, FredC
