    An 85 foot Princess named Rendezvous has burned to the waterline while moored in the UK. Witnesses reported seeing smoke followed by two 'huge' explosions followed by flames. Fire burned through mooring lines and allowed the boat to drift but luckily no other boats were involved. No reported injuries. Pictures on Daily Mail (UK) site.

    Rendezvous has now sunk in Torquay Harbor extinguishing the fire but creating new problems of pollution (9 metric tons of fuel on board) and raising and removing the hull. All souls accounted for. No injuries.
