Having spent a very enjoyable weekend in the Channel Islands this weekend (thanks for the great hospitality Dom), we returned to Portsmouth after a calm (ish) crossing, which could have been worse had Jimi given us the correct location of the floating container (sorry Jimi a cheap MOBO dig at a raggie ;-) ) with ChrisB4, Nick2 and a raggie friend. We where all patting ourselves on the back at what a good crossing it had been, whilst in the small boats channel entering Portsmouth Harbour, when Lady Hamilton (Sealine T51) cut across our Port Side from the West of the Solent and then pulled back off the throtals, causing us to do the same, whilst in her wake to ensure we did not ride her transom.
All four of us on board could not believe what had happened to us after 10 hours (Guernsey and back) of non eventful motoring, and only when back in the Solent this happened!! After a few expletives from yours truly towards THEM "it could have been the males or females they all looked the same (probably cousins)" we where greeted with a 2 finger salute, adding insult to injury there where 3 children hanging over the side rails at the rear of the boat (without life jackets) that could have easily fallen into the Solent if we had hit them and gone under out bows!!!
The reaction of the hick's on the flybridge beggars belief, 1, they did not believe they did anything wrong, 2 they endangered the life's of their children and 3, they where all very ugly.. the 3rd point I will say is my view and not that of my crew..... this is not saying by any means that Nick2 or ChrisB4 fancied the Adams family on the flybridge (Joanne, and Helen they at no point said they fancied anyone over the whole weekend)
If anyone sees this boat and the pond life that helms it, please make sure you give them a wide berth and return the 2 finger salute on behalf of me, ChrisB4, Nick2 and a raggie that has had all his suspicions confirmed of what MOBO's are capable of and how some have no respect of others.
Rant over....
