Glorious day sailing on the Orwell and Stour yesterday, but I felt the chatter on the VHF was getting a bit saucy, First were a few calls for 4Play and soon Mistress Quickly was on the air. Well really...............

I once heard a boat called wibbly wobbly won ask Thames CG for a radio check..

They were in hysterics trying to get their toungs round the name with a straight face..

There is a boat called Mistress Quickly...
