Infernal machine at Weymouth

[Daedelus]

No, not an anarchist bomb, but that awful Condor seacat making a racket all flipping night.

All the boats around me were complaining about it and it makes a sick joke of Weymouths notice not to run generators or auxiliary equipment after 10pm.


When are they going to do something about it? In time for the Olympics perhaps?

You could hear this washing machine from outside the facilities at Stromness!

I cannot believe that I've just sat and watched a video of a washing machine on youtube.


I really need to get out more.

Haha reads like a sailing soap opera. Wot goes around comes around I guess.

Me gone already, with coat.

Well it beats MiseryEnders hands down...

At least Weymouth Quay is far from quiet (noise wise) all through the summer

For me it's when you choose the relative quiet of St PP and the outer pontoons - and the Condor, and to be fair other ferries, rumble and clank.....

Still. I've yet to meet the Condor in Newtown Creek - although obviously it turns up in Poole Harbour!

The video would be much improved if there was a nubile young lady sat on top.

 

[Applescruffs]

Just me then !

The best thing that I have seen on TV this evening.

Not a patch on Betty Draper out of Mad Men doing her washing

OP is absolutely correct. Condor generator or whatever ruins Weymouth harbour in evening and at night. We moved round to The Cove, but it's not much better.

No excuse for it at all. Shore power could easily be used. Condor seem to have nothing but contempt for the neighbours.

 

[Garold]

Same in Poole. Condor cat is really loud when parked up.

The Poole vessel is even larger then the one at Weymouth and so even louder.

I am not clear what needs to run that is so loud? Generators?

In Poole, there is probably a reluctance to say anything because locally they have no wish to lose the Condor cat because they would then lose the dock jobs.

Fair enough I guess.

Ear plugs may be the only answer.
