Piracy on the Solent

[jimi]

Yesterday whilst having an afternoon siesta on a buoy outside Cowes (no smutty innuendo... its childish and not allowed!) we were boarded by two villainous characters from a large sealine called "Nightmare Chancers" who robbed us of all our chicken and bacon fajittas before roaring off into the distance ... anybody seen these characters before and what is the appropriate legal remedy?

Re: rule 5

Tough. You should have kept an appropriate lookout, so only yourself to blame. In fact, I would keep very quiet in case your YM gets revoked.

I think you'll find that what actually occured was that the harbour master launch who observed the vessel incorrectly moored and came alongside to remonstrate, swiped the fajitas while you weren't looking.

No no no .. that was comatose John .. he only eats english food and did'nt recognise the hellish brew for what it was. He thought it was his stew and nicked most of it.

Thought the harbourmaster a very reasonable chap especially confronted with two vessels moored on a single small buoy! Top marks to him.

Not me - I'd already had my run in with the authorities for the day, and was feeling a tad allergic to anything with blue flashing lights on it,or persons in uniform

A charming chap indeed, though having taken one look at the assorted rabble, errr ...crew, on the two vessels, you can't blame HM beating a hasty retreat
