An excellent example of Class action.
A very nice Storebro Motor Cruiser with Flybridge. About 40ft I would guess. Blue ensign as large as possible fluttering at stern. Skipper standing tall and proud with his 'de-rgged' Naval peaked cap on, white jumper and blue canvas slacks..... at the throttles / helm.
There's me and lass plodding out from visitors ...... I decide to video the exit and the lass on deck.
It just so happens that my video camera caught the 'other chap' hogging the channel - forcing me out of it into shallow water that actually touched .... there being ample room for both us to pass, but he wanted it all.
Of course a he passed there was the momentary glance in my generaldirection to make sure he'd made his point .... pity he hadn't been filming - he would have caught a good shot of me gesturing !
Now lets look at this .... his draft would have been about same as mine, so not contrained, channel was wide enough for both of us .... he was proceeding at reasonably slow speed and so was I. We both had good control of our boats ... ok so you think my holding the video camera limits me ? We were motoring and I was not using eyepiece .....
Just plain 'get out of my way pleb' attitude ??
