Went out yesterday afternoon for a quick run. On our way down Southampton Water whilst keeping to a straight course with the hound bouy close on port side as the fast cat was tearing up to Southampton something a bit scary happened. As we were clearly keeping well out of the way of the cat and staying dead on course it swerved about 30 degrees turning directly towards us at a distance of about 200 metres. Things all went a bit hectic in cockpit for about 10 seconds until it swerved back to the same course and left us feeling a bit annoyed at having to leap around on the tunrning wash it caused as well as it scaring the bejeebers out of us. Was no other traffic in the way and has left me wondering if someone was deliberately trying to freak us out for a laugh. Surely no responsible employee of a ferry company would ever do something so cruel?!???
