Two Close Calls!

close-call-2It was a close call for the crew of a small fishing boat in West Cork recently when a much larger boat steamrollered passed them with just a whisker of space keeping them safe. The crew of the inshore potter Celtic Dawn were hauling pots off the West Cork coast when a Spanish vessel approached at a rapid pace and did not appear to see the little fishing boat at work. The Castletownbere crew were saved by a matter of metres, and the captain of the fishing boat was non-too-impressed by the encounter.

Video filmed on the men’s mobile phones captures the moments after the colossal vessel broke the surface next to their tiny dinghy. Watch the video here 12:22
