RIP Dong San

I just heard (possibly been told already but forgot) that the Krill trawler that I went on over the winter went in to Cape Town for a bit of a refit, (ships going to South America were mysteriously catching fire), and guess what, she caught fire.

I’m slightly surprised she could catch fire, when I was on board there was so much water sloshing around everywhere that all wood etc was soaking wet and would never have burnt!
