That's a good tip about using the radar to identify yachts dragging down onto you. It's amazing how many people think they can just chuck the anchor over the side then go ashore/bed/both no matter what the weather. I met a clown at Lundy last year who put down barely enough for the anchor to reach bottom at high tide. I love the bit about the speed, however; how many times have we wanted to say something just like that?!?
Oh the times we’ve watched boats anchoring whilst silently shouting MORE CHAIN! (Amongst other things!) 😂 We have regularly sat on deck, with a cold one 🍺, to watch anchoring shenanigans in busy places. It can be entertaining but actually our primary purpose is making sure no one drops anchor in a dangerous position for us. And yes the radio comment about speed was brilliant and somehow made more hilarious by a broad geordie accent in the south of France 😂😂
There was one rather gorgeous sleek black yacht at 14.30, didn't care for any of the others.
Yes that one is a stunner but, as you say, money doesn’t necessarily bring good taste and their are some monstrosity’s out there 😂
There are always impatient power boaters, as a former on don't get it, always best to be patient. Best looking fort, looks like it could take a good shelling. Ha ha, I expected something spicy in sandwich, ha ha
Cheers Jim. Yes I’m also a former (and one day maybe future!) motor boater and always advocate patience. Sadly not all do though. It was a seriously solid fort for sure and I think my sandwich was chicken mayo so nothing spicy there it was just the spicy language on the radio! I don’t know how much you know about British regional accents but this guy had a very strong geordie (Newcastle) accent which somehow made it all the more amusing 😂😂
Yours has to be the strangest Union flag (2:16) in the upper canton of your ensign, that I have ever seen?
The things you spot David! 😂😂 It doesn’t look that strange to me. Poor ole Florence spent a season with one that had no red cross in the union flag. I thought there was some significance but it was simply a manufacturing error by Amazon’s suppliers! 😬😂🇬🇧
