Re: leave the transit alone

Well you might have another problem if you steer clear of the transit - grounding!

NigelB Paid my second visit to Portsmouth last w/e, entered keeping well over to the left following a local boat in and met one of those damn ferries (a yellow cat) leaving. I swear he altered course to pass as close as he could to give me the full benefit of his wash. SHMBO wasn’t impressed at all, she is still holding a grudge.

Maybe you should sort out the ferries


Sammy The main problem in Pompey is the speed of the motor boats not the big fellers the private 30' + types and some Sailing boats, mainly out of Port Solent. Passing very close to trots of moorings, with no thought to what thier wash is doing.
In the past couple of weeks there has been some very serious incidents with people tranfering from tenders and also from the Gosport boatyard ferry.
I know the harbour has a ten knot speed limit but at that speed a 35' motor boat creats a very large wash. Passing within about ten feet of a trot of moored boats is very poor seamanship and will/has caused some serious damage.
Is there any possibility that this new patrol will be monotoring this problem as well?


Twister_Ken BTW, I hope the VHP is empowered to offer friendly words of advice to the pilot launches which come and go from Haslar Creek at something not far removed from full chat.


Have any of you considered submitting an Incident Report:-

Grass someone up. That's a hanging offence!

Re: What?

I agree entirely - I'd rather hang the b*******s myself /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

If you buy a house with the InterCity line running past the end of your garden, expect to hear the trains...

Re: grudge

I would have thought that SHMBO holding a grudge was a bit of a flimsy reason for submitting an Incident Report. It was wash of a boats bow to me.

Met them myself last weekend and no doubt will meet them again this weekend.

Having suffered 2 breakins in 1 year (as has my neighbors boat) sureley they could be better employed patrolling the harbour and catching the buggers instead of adding to the congestion of an already congested area of the harbour
