Do You Keep Your Boat In Ipswich Haven ?

[Habebty]

And suddenly found your VHF or wind instrument doesn't work?
I was sat in my cockpit Saturday watching a psychotic crow pecking at every part of someones masthead, attacking the spinny wind cups and vhf lead until the rubber grommet under the aerial came off. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
I tried scaring it off and it just went and attacked someone elses mast bits. It flew across to another boat and tried to land on the vertical whippy aerial which literally flicked the crow off on to the anenometer and the crow span round on that until it stopped spinning. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gifCrow then attacked anenometer. Crow's partner sat on next door boat's masthead light watching. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Hilarious to see until you realise the damage and inconvenience. So if you're on H or J pier check your masthead bits /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I must remember to pop my air-rifle aboard before going up there next time.

In Neptune - will keep an eye out. Isn't a crow's nest supposed to be up the mast though??!!
