My crew of the weekend had recently done his Coastal Skipper.

While out on the school boat and being on starboard tack he had an incident with a large Moody which gave him pause for thought.

As a collision became a real possibility the school boat altered course and entered into the spirit by yelling "STARBOARD" at the passing Moody only for the helm of that boat to yell "STARBOARD" back at them while pointing at his sails. In fact he was a bit more abusive than that even though he was plainly on port tack.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any more interesting out there.

It wasn't the same large Moody that gave Mirelle and me problems at the weekend, was it?

If so, I know where he's berthed. Any diver out there offering to nip down and remove his propellor while he's not looking? I can't imagine him (or anyone else) managing to sail that monster out of its berth.
