MISAR log jam!

The river has been quite high lately and a visiting cruiser became stuck on some tree trunks that were forced underneath it. Mercia Inshore Search and Rescue divers Ian Cundy & Paul Austin attended. Ian dived under the boat and managed, with help from above, to dislodge 2 large and 1 small trunks. A lot of other debris had become stuck under the boat. The operation took about two hours.
