Buggars are shooting at me!
Ok must have been the Royal Ensign
Tall ship took a dislike to me and put a shot across the bows
Actually a fun crew on the "Lady Washington" and had a great day photographing her.
Also a mixed bunch out today with the Coast Guard making a pass and running into a nice Nautica rib.
Also freighter from London;who seemed a long way from home!

cheers Dal

What particular regs and who is they? Cos its not so much regulation as cost. Cost of meeting UK standards and more significantly cost of employing British crew.
