Wight Panther

[DogsBody]

Perhaps someone would like to remind the owner of Whight Panther there is a speed limit on the river? She tried to overtake me on a blind bend just before Caversham lock but failed. Then blasted past at an estimated 6 knots once out of the lock.

After doing so, she slowed down - some people just have to be in the lead...

Then we get to the next lock which is unmanned and they close the gates as we approach, despite being room for us if the boats in there could be bothered to moor better. Then off they go after filling the lock, leaving it full on their departure, despite the EA notices telling boaters to leave locks empty on exit.

Some people just don't care.

Anyway rant over.

Interestingly, for a boat claiming to be a member of the fenders up cruising club, they kept their fenders down the whole time ?

Oh dear, actually would have had two very nice ladies on board on route to a certain forumites moorings.
I'm sure they were distracted by something

Dear old Margaret, her sister, Anne Seeney, Barbara Sache plus some lady volunteer that works alongside Margaret at the Royal Berkshire Hospital. She would never ever think of raising fenders it's all she can do (bless her) to get from A to B without hitting something.

Unlike some we could mention Margaret does at least move her boat. She was probably clearing the pipes.
