True, but at no point in the article did she take the opportunity to thank those who were involved the assistance (ie - Porthmadog Harbour Master + the Coastguard Rescue Team etc). Hopefully it didn't cause any pollution to this lovely bit of coastline.
I read that she had and indeed part of her crowdfunding was to make a donation to the coastguard.
This is an excerpt from that page:
"
"We are devastated enough, nevermind having to read negative & upsetting posts from a few keyboard warriors.
BIRDIE Camper van Photo Booth is the name of our award winning company & is named after our very first, fully restored VW – BIRDIE - hence the name of the company.
We now provide a range of bespoke VW Camper vans & other related props & services for weddings and parties.
Our fleet of two VW camper vans - BIRDIE and PIXIE - both photo booths, Herbie Beetle (used to raise over £3,000 for our local hospital during the Corona pandemic), Flossie, Babs, Betty & Bonnie
Whilst taking part in a 1970’s beach themed photo shoot in Wales to promote ours & other businesses for future weddings, ‘BIRDIE ‘ got stuck in the sand & engulfed by the sea along with our transporter & trailer.
All rules were followed including social distancing, risk assessment & tidal times.
Whilst moving to another site before the tide came in, ‘ BIRDIE’s ‘ steering wheel locked, yet we were able to eventually load her onto the trailer. By this time another colleague helping us had become trapped in the sand and we used our tie down straps to help. She managed to get to safety but we ran out of time & the tide came in.
As a result both our vehicles were trapped as the tide rose above them, the camper (not strapped down as the straps had broken rescuing others) slipped off the trailer and bobbed against the rocks
Bespoke items, some made & provided by our industry colleagues & friends we submerged in water and some floated away and equipment and tools we use for the ‘BIRDIE’ business were destroyed
With help from the Coastguards & Maritime professionals both vehicles were eventually recovered from the sea six hours later.
As no doubt you can imagine, it was devastating to witness our beloved camper & transporter being engulfed by water.
We set up a Crowdfunding page, as we’ve had no income for the last 7 months, to help us donate to the Coastguard & repay/replace the many items supplied by our colleagues, some of which were damaged beyond repair."
