Rib has a lucky escape in Teignmouth

Just seen this video of a near miss in Teignmouth, wonder if the rib has any orange paint on it?

And a compulsory pilot port!

The Teign is narrow and has fast tide and shifting sandbanks on the way in...surprised she made it that far. why on earth would you try it without a pilot.

Trust there was no serious damage to any of the moored boats.
