Skipper need to be fined

[paul salliss]

I hope in peak season that The Hamble Harbour Master patrols the entrance around The Hamble River, the sheer amount of lunacy that I have witnessed this weekend is beyond a joke, skippers need to be fined for poor and reckless behaviour, the time has come for something to be done

There are far too many monster boats on the Hamble. Smaller craft like jet skis would be far better

What lunacy did you witness?

 

[ashtead]

Someone in a rib hit a buoy again ? Clearly a free transfer for some the Portsmouth harbour patrols . My recollection is the marina plod park up at hamble point if any jetski to be arrested.

most of the madness this week was people in big fly bridge boats to be honest and nothing to do with jet ski’s at all, I can’t be bothered to waste valuable time detailing it all on here but peak time / weekend patrols would be no bad thing

Have you emailed the harbour master them to complain and suggest?

There was a jet ski being saved from the spit on Friday. The Hamble life boat was pulling him free .

I’m sure if asked there must be many ex naval CPO who would have the relevant skills to police a few large flybridge squadron 55 or whatever if a few adverts were placed. There never seems to be a shortage of such chaps who serve in Portsmouth harbour mouth and so few might fancy fresh prey /challenges. Generally at Portsmouth it’s not the flybridge owners who cause congestion issues though .

Can't have been too bad if it was completely "wreck less".

So not being bothered means that people on here have just got to accept your view of what you think is unacceptable behaviour.

First big weekend of the season, people haven't steered a boat for yonks, can't remember all the rules or how anything works, crew can't get the stove to work to make a cuppa, or the heads to dispose of the last one, skipper's trying to decide if that rattle is a loose door or imminent engine death while trying to see the plotter in the sunshine because he forgot his sunnies.....
Is it reckless behaviour you saw? Or people just being a bit inept? If your skills tower above theirs you should have no problem navigating around the poor souls.

 

[Seastoke]

Paul you will get more credit if you gave an example.

 

[Hot Property]

Wasn't me I hope? I went in and out 3 times on Saturday so hopefully by the 3rd one I had mastered it all!

 

[superheat6k]

Definitely was't me.

I'm an ex Chief - where do I collect the RIB from please ?

 

[ashtead]

Are you a member of Hornet though chief superheat6k?

My grandad manned that gun at the beginning of the war as his first ever trip out of Wales.
I sat on it with him and my son.
He has an amazing tale about it and all of you that have shared a beer with me will have heard it!
