Creek ship sinking drama off Kent coast: During my recent stay in the United Kingdom near the north foreland on the Kent coast I continued to maintain contact with the nautical scene and witnessed the drama of the creek-owned Papalios vessel Aegis Blaze during Mid-July when a major sea rescue effort had to be mounted to save the stricken ship- Shipping with John Walters.
