Temporal en el Estrecho
Sunday, October 12, 2008
This is the beach named "Getares"--7 Kilometers from Algeciras--.This picrure has been made yesterday, in the afternoon.I never saw such a storm like this one.On back and to the right of the picture, you can see a ship, named "Tawe", which run aground last nigh, around 5:15 a.m.
On the right of this picture, you can see the "Tawe", which is run aground the "Punta San García".Inside the ship, there were 22 men and the Captain said that it was not necesary that they leave the ship --although he said that something of fuel was going out the ship to the sea--.Gibraltar is behind the "Tawe", although you can not see it, cause of the fog.
The "Tawe" has a flag from Liberia.The captain said that there was no cargo inside.Two days ago, the Captain tried to bring the ship out of that little beach, but the strong wind from "Levante" did not let it to him.08.10.11.
08.10.18: just one week after, the weather changed, although the ship "Tawe" stayed at the same place; some days after it was tuged to the shipyard site on Puente Mayorga, near of Gibraltar, in order to mend some cracks made in it.You can see the "Tawe", to the left of the picture.
