... and the Bad and the Ugly.

With a couple of square miles to play in, do they ever stop to think what it feels like to have several tons of boat heading straight at you for a couple of minutes at thirty or whatever knots? No, of course they don't.

Wow. Love the colour coded rocket launchers on the foredeck.

And I bet his motor didn’t sound as nice as the four Merlins on that Lanc.

just count your lucky stars that you don't sail in the Solent

We encountered several of these types coming up the wallet yesterday, one was so close I could almost read the writing on his Tee shirt , I thought it it said something like
“I’m a complete & utter cockwomble “ might be wrong tho ………

I suspect they like to play dot-to-dot as a distraction from the tedium... sadly we are the dots

If that worries you I hope you don’t encounter jetski which create far more issues etc in hitting other objects. Generally most users in the Solent of mobo have their eyes open -sometimes you see ribs which hit buoys in the Soton water but generally even these well driven compared to jetski types.

Another typical example of a yottie getting in the way of a boat...

Used to scared on the. Medway on a Sunday. The motor boats on autopilot going buoy to buoy and making maximum wash , being just off the plane.
