You again demonstrait my argument for better training. It appears that yours still hasn't given you the knowledge to make a judgment of the conditions. Some of the clues were,
All the boats coming in, no Sunday traffic leaving.
Waves breaking over the windward break water.
Boats being blown all over the harbour even when under power.
Prolific safety working on the radio.
Profesionals cancelling trips out in licenced vessels.
Impressive healing of sailboats whilst tied to their moorings.
What more do you need, possibly a policeman on the wall telling you to stop?
How long will it take you to realise that trips to the pier for your mates in that kind of weather is bloody stupid and that all you are asking for is some other bloke to risk his life in a lifeboat just because you don't know when to stay tied up. They've got enugh trouble with the people caught out in it without you adding to the numbers.
Just out of interest how many of you were wearing proper lifejackets and what was the lifeline fixed to while you were playing with the anchor.
Next time you fancy a jolly with your mates, ask yourself what you would say to their widow because your ICC won't be worth a tuppeny toss to them.
All the nice comments about "glad it had a happy ending" are all very nice and friendly but you won't learn anything, at least this may make you think next time and possibly save a life. I call a spade a spade and if you don't like it, then think twice about advertising your more stupid moments.
