  Yes- Dale.  I saw the black smoke on the horizon when I was coming back from a squid session in Mangles Bay yesterday.

I wondered what was on fire?  Then saw the news,  geez- the bloke is a hero,if the news content is correct. Reported that he got blown from the boat with the explosion,then hopped on a forklift and towed it out from the doorway of the business!

 This is why i wont weld an aluminium boat until the tank is removed. I know there are ways to get around it but stuffed if I would risk it.
