Bit of a problem with the tides, apparently ...

As at 20:00, the barge is now beached with the high tide.

I assume the plan is now to wait for low tide and haul it off with the help of some wheelramps from Paddy's Garage. As the nose is pointing out to sea, that could be interesting ...

Now on dry land (well a rather damp Enniscrone) with the help of a crane:
