HELP PLEASE!!!! Legless in Stangate Creek

[Gin]

One of our Club members had the misfortune of losing his artificial leg whilst transferring between boats rafted up in Stangate Creek, on Saturday night.

An extensive search was carried out by torchlight, as the limb was seen floating away on the ebb, but without success.

If our member is not soon reunited with his member, /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif he is in for a long period of waiting for a replacement, so please let me know if anyone comes across this vital item

Thanks guys and keep your eyes peeled.

Saturday night, legless ......... you can see which way this post is going to go /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

It's not funny Alan. We have to be wide eyed whilst he is legless. Bring it on Rod Stewart /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

We never thought to try that one on our MOB drill.

Sorry Gin - I know it ain't funny for the man concerned but .........

 

[Gin]

No problem, wide eyed and legless it is- one has to see the funny side!

Sorry to be serious for a moment but has the CoastGuard been advised? If a local boater / fisherman or even passer by on the beach found an artificial leg I would think it could cause a bit of a stir.

I hope there were witnesses otherwise I guess the Insurance Company could say he hasn't got a leg to stand on!

I bow to your age and experience /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[Gin]

A valid point and well received- thank you

I have now reported the loss to Thames CG

Don't know about ' leg to stand on', but the CG think he is probably 'hopping mad'!

Maybe worth trying Medway VTS as well - one of the working boats may come across it.

 

[Gin]

Yes, thanks, I've informed the Kent Police, Marine Division and asked them to liaise with Medway VTS.

edit content:- Our chap had already reported it to Medway VTS

Just as well to let the authorities know that something's afoot.

 

[Gin]

When I was asked "What's afoot?"

I answered " 12 inches, as a rule"- they were not impressed /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
