david....david....dear david.... us boaters pay £500/nay £600 and odd quid a year....so therefore they should all yeild to our prowess on the cut

Why is it in this country, whether you are driving a car or a boat, that lots of people think the speed limit DOESNT apply to them? they are so imprtant as human beings, they can drive FASTER that what the law says? And as is becoming evident that the arrogant car drivers are becoming arrogant boat drivers........They live their lives dashing here there and everywhere.....rush rush rush.......All I can say is this, Its a sad reflection of how we are progressing, isnt it? we arnt progressing, were going back to our roots by the looks of things and adopting the cave man attitudes with everything........ Go on boys (cos you are the WORST perpetrators of all this speeding) grab your loincloths and your bashing stick........................get your drum man on the fore deck hitting his base drum-----ramming speed!!!!!!!!!

You quote "Sort of go through the motions" ......ahahahahahah good reply mate! tell you what, appart from when its windy mate, ive never lost steerage ever! by slacking the revs off to tickover......... shakes my head.....

nigel for gods sake........i think someones taking the pi** mate..........wise up, tune in and switch on!

Im not on about doing 1mph mate im onabout if your doing 3-4mph and some arse wants to pass to go faster..............another arrogant boater...........this is becoming silly......

Well they can abuse as much as they like now......hehehe, this time around (new boat new fella) ......and lets say, he wont stand and abuse from anyone, and who's to argue? he's a very big lad!

Im not a selfish boat owner billy boy, I personally dont like speeding because of all the grief you get from moored boat owners as you pass.......you obviously dont mind that, so it looks like your skin is as thick as your head then? and arrogant to boot:)

yer, its dead right that lad.........they wont move, then they get PMT big time when you make off with some line etc.....

hehehe beggars belief

on a deep river its not as bad as a shallow canal .......they suck all the water from under your boat.....causing a sometimes massive surge by your boat!

And Llangollen! worst of the lot.....moored at the top , getting your boat smashed into at 10.30pm! by people from a foreign land, several times the same night....

The problem is people trying to do circuits (round routes) whats up with just taking it easy and when you get halfway through your holiday, turning round....... Its not funny when someone speeds past, and your boat does the rhumba and spills hot tea all over your lap/dog/cat/etc....

Here we are again, silly season.................. lines and lines as long as the eye can see of fisher persons, all with happy smiley faces.... bet the maufacturers of 'Prozac' have gone out of business with this lot:)

A friend of mine was telling me he had to pull over twice in 2 hours the other day to let the speed merchants pass.....you know the ones? Up your stern gland like there's no tomorrow? Its not on......we dont want to loose sight of the 'lets slow down and chill', aspect here, do we? ..... Do we want a watery M25?
