Toscana the lifeboat

[Doug_Stormforce]

Toscana, we to were amazed at the antics of irresponsible parents in Osborne Bay, we were the sealine "Four Play" who picked up the sailing dinghy, the 2 kids on board were scared stupid and due to a badly rigged boat did not stand a chance of sailing upwind, when I asked them to raise the centreboard and drop the sails for the tow then had no idea how to. I am sad to say the two children in question have probabally been put of sailing for life now.Thanks to Number 1 Moose who collected our tow when we reached shallower water.

No need for apologies, you did far more than anyone else in that bay, just before we picked the kids up I heard the owner of a twin masted sailor about 45 feet shouting at them to stay away from his boat, this was after the Coastguard had requested for help and when the kids were already struggling.
