Coast Gaurd busy weekend

[Das_Boot]

Do you think the CG are going to be busy this weekend.

It has been so long since I took the boat out in anger I have forgotten with ropes to pull and why.

Am I the only one. If not I am glad I am not driving a rescue boat.

You're starting to sound like PowerStripper. Sorry, I meant Julie the PowerSkipper

You can hear me from where you are. I must stop shouting while I type.

I imagine that most boat owners will be thinking of slipping moorings this weekend..... Let the season commence!

 

[Das_Boot]

How do powerstrippers sound?

Hope I can remember the wording for mayday call if my VHF works. At least I know the fridge works.

You make slipping a mooring sound so easy. I have my boat virtualy bolted to the pontoon. It will take me at least an hour to workd the lines loose.

I think it's started already, Solent, Portland and Brixham are looking for an overdue yacht. Plymouth to Ipswich

 

[Das_Boot]

His fridge probably failed and has stopped for cold bear.

 

[Das_Boot]

let me refrase.
His fridge has failed he therefor stopped the yacht to go and buy cold beer.

Re: Stopped for a cold bear.

They must be in Reykjavic then .First two polar bear beers didnt touch the sides.

 

[lockwood]

Could you please rephrase your refrase

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Any news on this?.... is she still missing?

 

[Lifeboat]

The RNLI & HMCG will definetly have a busy weekend! Always do without fail.
Starts on the beach & goes right offshore. Everything from kids on inflatables to motorboats that run out of fuel to bulkers with power outs!

Always a fun time of year!

Eventually turned up safe and well and oblivious to the search
