Hey Jace I reckon we duck down there with a snatch strap and the ute should yank him clean out of there no worries. What a stupid place to park.

Thats all Newy needs another good surf spot, that ship will build up some amazing sand banks in the next weeks.

Wonder why they didnt go out to sea?...the forecasters new the storm was coming ...it wont come off the beach without dredging a big ditch to drag it into...the Touraeg should be able to do it

Really it couldn't have picked a better beach to run aground on.
Nobby's is made up of rock with a sand bar over the top.
The ships not going to sink far into the sand being a flat bottom ship. The back end of the ship is constantly moving around with the waves hitting it, so hopefully it won't be to much of a drama for them to get it off once the swell dies down a bit.
