The fate of the Nuwest FCV 096 is grim. In 2008, the vessel was impounded in Durban for illegal fishing. In 2011, it was reportedly scuttled for insurance money off the coast of Madagascar. Captain "Mac" passed away in 2019, never having faced trial due to a lack of corroborating witnesses willing to testify.

If you are looking to experience a "full day" at the mountain, proper preparation is essential due to the rapidly changing weather.
