Mini skip and myself were out last night for a potter about went down syon reach and then up to richmond coming back down with the tide slightly to starboard on the surrey side doing approx 4 knts all was going ok
Untill
all of a sudden an eight comes hurtling towards us from astern with the chase boat to their port side straight away I turn the helm to starboard to avoid a collision and as they passed us only a couple of feet separated us from their oar tips not only did the w @ nker in the chase boat not thank us he was shaking his head in a patronising manner
Btw the eight was not racing
now the colregs question were we not doing something that I missed ?
