Let\'s have a good time in our Mobo\'s, but watch our wash
OK, since I started this thread, hopefully I can now finish it with a couple of closing thoughts:
- It looks like the blue/black hulled boat did not come from the TMYC, so apologies if any of the above threads have caused offense to any TMYC members.
- The boat was not called Jolly Rotter, so again, not TMYC.
I shall endeavour to keep my wash to a minimum (even around the island at Windsor /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif) - hopefully other Mobo users will too.
Right, I'm off to try and find a life now, with a few tipples down the rub-a-dub. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Thank you. Apology accepted. It's just a pity that Byron has not had the grace to do the same. He was the one who stirred it all up. But! he's been very quite since then. I wonder why.
Subject, so far as I'm concerned now closed. Thank you all for your patience and good humour.

Now that is really interesting. TMYC was at Wraysbury last Easter. This is well documented and I have photos to show for it.

Really.........did they know things were going to get hot on the river and not make their planned cruise

You can laugh. I'll be in Scotland next week, but not with my boat. Luckily my motor caravan does not make too much wash, even in the rain. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

please dont get those rowers mixed up with us canoists and kayakers, we are aa friendly lot.
those rowers are unfriendly to us too. what a bunch of s***bags. never mind it could be worse, you could be them. imagine having to live their lives or be in their head with all that snobbery and money earning pressure.
we go out on the water to relax and a lot of them go out on the water to be competative and to be realy stressfull.
we just stick to the collision regs and try to keep out of their way.
if it happens again, you can always get on the vhf and tell the harbour master or marine support and report them. they definatly deserve it.
i would want to rip their heads off.
have a nice week.

I,ve met a lot of great 'more friendly' canoists who would be very saddened by your narrowmindedness Alexandra!
Why do you think they are all rich snobs?, and unless you are more of a machoman than you seem, I think you would find quite a few heads difficult to 'rip off' without encountering more than a little resistance. Bill.

what i am saying is that if somone threw an egg at my boat and was shouting abuse then it would take a lot to stop me from disenbarking and physicly assualting the assailants.
i am not saying they are all rich snobs and i am not classist and i like talking to all sorts of people at various boat and yatch clubs.
i just dont like rude behavour and bad manners and bad river behavour. i have witnessed the behavour some of the rowers and what i put it down too is the competativeness of the sport and think that if you treated the pavment as a running training track one's good manners and politeness would suffer.
does that explain it better.
and as for being called narrow minded and a machoman, well i think that justifies my point about manners and politeness does'nt it.
if i defended my self against an assualt (like throwing eggs.) or by some other intimidation by some rowers then that does'nt make me a bad person does it.
let's not let this turn into a slanging match, it's good to hear people opinions on the matter.
i started my training as a commercial boatsmaster in a canoe and kayak to get closer to the water and to understand it better. even though i now use a patrol boat for my days on the river, i still use kayaks for a nice sunday exercise trip from putney to vauxall.

Re: Mobo\'s cause mayhem on tidal Thames today
Remant of my experience of the Motor Boat Monthly Cruising Cub Yobbos.
Towards the end of our holiday in Aug 03 we crossed from Hansweert to Ternuzen and tied up waiting to lock in.
The lock opended and a number of large working barges exited the lock and cruised to sedaetly past us as they headed out into the Westerscelde.
As the last barge cleared the lock a group of motor boats from the the back of the lock impationatly surged out and started to overtake the barges. They achieving planeing speed just about abeam where we were waiting. With less than 20 yards between us and othe outgoing barges.
My wife was on the bow and reacted fairly quickly, but I was too slow; before I could reach the stern rope their wash threw us up over 2 meter, the subsequent drop ripped out my port after cleat from the deck.
I yelled and shook my fist as my released stern swung out, but the speed merchant cretins behind their Motor Boat Monthly cruise badges just waved when they saw my blue ensign.

I recall hearing something about that at the time. That and one or two other incidents of boorish behaviour. If my memory serves me right I was with Freddy Turner and some Belgians 'pulled' us in the Bolougne Yacht Club as if we were responsible.
