Embarrassing moment with Torbay Harbour Master.

[dralex]

There was no wind yesterday, so we motored round to a local bay and anchored for lunch. There were no other boats around and we were having a lovely " siesta" when there was a knock on the hull!!!

Now the only reason I could think of for a knock on the hull was if we were dragging our anchor, so I bounded up on deck to see we were in exactly the same place as before, but with a large HM RIB alongside. " Are you a local boat sir?. We're just doing safety checks and wondered if you would like one"

You could see the barely suppressed grins.

Is this an invasion of privacy??

If you were asleep I can see no reason to be embarrased.

 

[Judders]

is it at this point we reveal that dralex's craf has no cabin?

Maybe they thought your boat had developed a port lust....

Did you get a haircut at the same time?

Try "sleeping" in the tender next time - especially if it has an air floor - really comfortable and you can push against the transom. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

'Frightening the horses', were we? Or, did you have an ensign upside down? Were you, perhaps, flying something that looked like Code Flag 'V'. Perhaps next time, you might display InterCo Flags 'D' or T'.
