Good deed for the day

Yesterday was fairly breezy! A French boat dragged it's anchor and ended up across the otherside of the bay. It's owners must have been in town shopping for their French cheese and wine. The boat ran aground on the sand just before the rocks. Darryl spotted the boat at a strange angle to the wind and asked the French yacht anchored in front of us to notify the coast guard. The wind was due to pick up and the boat would have  been smashed to pieces! About half an hour later the lifeboat came and had a few attempts to drag the boat off the bottom. Luckily on about the third attempt it was dragged free. A large audience had gathered on the beach and one lucky dude got his expensive boat back unscathed! Good deed for the day done ...
