Hot Tub Adrift In English Channel, Vessels Warned
#HotTub - Vessels in the English Channel have been warned to keep watch for a hot tub adrift in the water after a houseboat sank near Brighton this week.
On Wednesday 17 June, Newhaven RNLI attended to a tug towing two 22-metre houseboats on their way to the Thames area, one of which began taking on water and sank within 20 minutes.
As YBW reports, the lifeboat and tug crew were able to collect some debris that floated to the surface from the sunken houseboat.
But the hot tub was too large to recover, and its last known position was passed to Dover Coastguard.
