Sigh, yes it happened again yesterday. Hit by a wandering Wharram. This time though, for me at least it had a happy ending.

After fending the thing off it drifted away about twenty metres. I called Brisbane Port Control on the VHF and they took my mobile number. About half an hour later Maritime Safety called me. We discussed the situation and after an hour a work boat turned up. I feared inaction because there had been no further dragging but this time the offending dragger was towed away and after a brief pause when it looked like they might re-anchor it up current of me (again) the combo turned down current and...woosh...they were gone.
I think everybody had a better nights sleep last night.
