Tina and Ross provide lobster and mackerel to a number a number of high end restaurants and could have been 'ruined' by the incident if it was not for the charity of strangers - who so far have donated nearly £7,000 to help recover their boat.Ross, 47, of Fife, said: "It is devastating, this time of the year is peak season for lobster - you don't get many in winter. We have built up a good customer base of top end restaurants who have now lost their regular supplier.
The Tina Louise sank just hours later after the bilge pump batteries were overwhelmed by water and the couple do not know if the damage to the boat can be repaired. "Even if it is a write-off we have to then go and find a boat and it isn't as easy as just buying a car.
