Log of s/v Bellerophon

We arrived back at the Club at 8 bells in the forenoon watch. 20 yards off of the north T we decided to stop briefly and calibrate the depth sounder. Having done so we discovered we were hard aground, so we followed the standard Bellerophon Soft Grounding Protocol. We requested the assistance of Theo, Sue and Pablo to begin emptying wine bottles in an attempt to lighten the vessel. Our efforts must have been successful for not less than 2 hours later we were afloat!

Many thanks to our makeshift crew and their able assistance.
