On the whole everyone one we asked to do something were only too happy to comply
but one of my highlights from Tuesday was chasing a 30’ motor boat that ignores my request to leave the restricted zone. It wasn’t that I chased him far, in fact I barely got on the plane, it was that as soon as he saw me coming after him he veered off in the right direction and refused to look at me until he was well behind the line I think the sight of a Pac22 rearing up onto the plane with all the accompanying smoke and spray was enough to put the fear of god into him Des

That little hitler at the harbour entrance that Tony and Pete mention cracked me up, we were doing about 6 knots and he zoomed past (spraying us in the process) and told us to keep our speed down in the harbour!! What a tool.

Well done and thanks to those marshalling - must have been a long day positioned in one place.

And there will be plenty more opportunities to meet the needs of the officious official now that summer's here...

Blowing whistles at School Sports Day...guarding the corgis at the Queen's Garden Party...judging the winning jams at the Garden Fetes...even deciding who has the biggest cucumber at the County Fayre (causes loadsa angst that one )... the list is endless

(BTW Sir Mark H. do we have to bow every time we see you now? )

Look what we caught up and stopped for speeding in the Solent on Monday!!!

To say we caught it is true, but I suspect that they were only on tickover whereas we were going full speed!

Cheers

Mark

marshalls

not sure there was any security benefit in terms of stopping another USS Cole incident - the boys in green would / should have dealt with that threat, but from our point of view running charter trips on the day, the marshalls being there had huge safety benefits....the event seemed to pass incident free so I cant see how the terrorists could be seen to have won..

Nice one Mark and he was on official duty as well, so he should have known about the speed limits. Mind you, as you say, tick over with twin 18 litre Cat power is probably in excess of 10 knts...


Cheers.

Nope, it was after that. We hadn't actually left when I came out of the lightship to say hi to you. The saily boat was to the north of Ryde, at the northern edge of the southern spectator zone (if that makes sense!)

Fairy Nuff, but surely it might have been within your scope to notice a problem, and mosy over to find out what was going on before disappearing? I am fully aware that the marshalls were not there as a rescue service, it simply seemed that the 2 marshall boats close to us looked at what they could tell was a problem, and then immediately scarpered so they couldn't be asked for help/advice.
