Mobo vs Raggie Rant

[fireball]

There we were, minding our own business, motorsailing to Beaulieu on a superb saturday - just not enough wind to sail /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif - when .... a mobo comes flying past down our starboard side, along with a little wave ....

Bother that said I ... I'll call him up on the VHF!! .... he responded quickly and directed me to Chl 6 whereby he started off apologising and that he thought he'd given us plenty of room, hope it didn't upset us too much .... well - if he'd let me get a word in edgeways .... Mr Houston ... I only called you up to say hello!! I knew you wouldn't recognise me, but I recognise you!! phew - thats all ok then!!

Hope you enjoyed the rest of your weekend!!

Mmm motorsailing? Did you have a cone up?

I heard the exchange as we were listening in on RickP's boat Trogdor (we were in the same bit of water as well).

Thought Rog was going to get a ticking off at first /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

No we didn't have the cone up - the ice cream had already melted .... it's the heat you know!!

Rather unusually for a stinky ... hardly a ripple - didn't even have to change course ... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

So were we! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif We were on our way to Alum Bay to meet up with another well known Wokingham Forumite! I have never seen the Bay so calm. 'Twas ideal for a quiet lunch. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

knowing roger he had the sticks right forward and only about 15% of the boat on the water.

Flying machine - you bet!!!
