He punctured two dinghies before everybody had them out of harms way.
He had a gnaw on our friends Amel.
Now that will make for an interesting insurance claim.
I am having second thoughts about sheltering there tomorrow with our handy sugar scoop...

there’s one yacht with a wide open transom cockpit that it’s taken a lot of interest in, methinks there’s going to be a whole new meaning to keeping an anchor watch tonight armed with boat hooks

Imagine cleaning the cockpit after that has had a dump

Is that the Pogo 30 that was around Old Grimsby yesterday. Oh boy are they in trouble...

Looks like he'd be handy on the rail though

It’s still around and up to the same tricks, so if anyone is thinking of anchoring here I would suggest having a long boathook ready and don’t leave the dinghy in the water, as has been mentioned it has punctured several

On the radio earlier a sailor was shouting at him trying to keep him off his boat.
The best bit was he told him to.
Mind my varnish.

I had a good chuckle about priorities not being as worried about sinking but the varnish .

The outboard on this dinghy will probably be done for and the inflatable too

Pete
We narrowly escaped from Wally on Friday night. He made a number of attempts to mount the adjacent boat with a swim platform The crew tried using their dinghy to lure him off. Eventually he gave up.
He then came over and looked at our open sugar scoop.

I tried the air horn to warn him off. Complete waste of time.
He did respect our boat hook and turned away as soon as it got near his head.

Eventually he left all the boats alone.

I set off for Padstow early next morning and only noticed him in the half light at the last minute near the end of the southern reef.
He woke and snorted diving down under our boat.
I think I have lost him after 5 hours of motoring and 8 hours of sailing .

I don't think he has been spotted here again!
