Qualified Or Not, What Would You Do?

Re: RE that was then! AGAIN

Firstspirit,

That's a Big Ten Four Buddy! still got it, but cell phones have taken all the fun out of it.

Where is this marina? South coast? Solent area? At the end of a line of 5 perches, starboard side to?

We had a similar thing occur when the lock gates were left open to relieve excess water and someone forgot to close them. Were all on pontoons, but a couple of boats heeled and their gunwhales(gunnels) jammed under the pontoons and they stayed under as the water flooded.

I woud be very annoyed not to be informed of serious loss of depth to the extent we would 'fall over'. I assume you did inform them of the draught of the vessel and that they accordingly directed you to a 'safe' place to anchor/moore?

I can't see there was any real danger, apart from being hit on the head by flying objects, bottles of grog falling off shelves etc.. Yes very inconvenient and cold and wet, but not life threatening.

If damage was done then sue the Marina for personal injury and for repairs.

Where exactly was this, I don't want to end up there?

I look forward to the reply, but am out of the country 'till the 30th.

C'mon, tell me.

P.S. One thing that may have slipped my mind.....................at the time of this incident, the first mate was EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT!

I don't think that you're going to get an answer to your question. After all it may help us to piece together what really happened!

One things for sure, we haven't had the full story.
