cuthound Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) Boat just went speeding past. By the time I had taken the photo it had disappeared under the bridge, but look at the size of the waves he left. Poor swan almosr got washwd onto the towpath! It was a private boat who moors locally ? Still revenge will be sweet when I charge past him.

rustynewbery Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Apart from the stupidity of the excessive speed, I don't think visibility through that bridgehole [65?] is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan de Enfield Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Must have been very big wash to have swept right over the sides and so far up the garden and onto the Patio, saves watering the grass tho ! Every cloud has a silver lining. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Harold Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Don't play this boaters silly game. cruise past really slowly,put on a CD of Handel's Water Music at full blast with your windows open. If you hav'nt got the Water music then Wagner's Flying Dutchman overture will be just as good. If you don't have these,then any music will do. It's the volume that's important! If you know someone who playes the bagpipes, invite them in for a coffee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt you know you can go as fast as you like in the rain? Very true (but only for some boaters it seems). It took me too long to get the phone and take the picture to capture the waves at their peak. I've seen smaller waves in a force 10 than those as he was passing! ?
