fisherman1055 Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Looking at the last picture I see that John C was coxing " his" boat on its "last" journey, I bet that hurt,!!! it made me gulp a bit. Derek. Yes I wondered why as I was the only other boat in the sea he decided to pass me 20 foot from my port beam, and I had to keep steering away from him.

fisherman1055 Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 There might be a direct impact on the club here. Some members consider the RNLI a "get me home" service like the RAC or AA, but should remember it's there "to save lives at sea". "Home" for the Swanage and Yarmouth lifeboats isn't in Poole. Could I suggest members consider more "buddy boat" arrangements until the new regime settles down, particularly over the quieter winter months, and take efforts to check and uplift safety kit and arrangements.
