Restricted manoeuvrability

[claymore]

Go slowly - stick to your course and wave in a friendly fashion as the dim twerps go by - blowing them the odd kiss also helps.
Waste of time displaying flags, barrels or anything else as they wouldn't have a clue what it meant and ribs tend not to carry almanacs so even if they could read, there's even less point in carrying out "correct procedures"

(they also liked mike's day signal!)

Well I am a MoBo-er but I do recognise when a yachtsman is looking for depth, and so does my 15 year old sone - coz I taught him.

IMHO, if you see a yacht creeping out at 2 kts centre channel, then he's obviously looking for deep water, and as to the rest who didn't recognise this, well they ain't good skippers.

Looking for deep chanels is a permanent feature of yachting in Porthmadog by the way /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
