tight lines

[gaggle]

Going to Llangollen ,starting next saturday , bridgewater trent mersey middlewhich branch ect ect , do not want any crying arse moaners at the windows ,cratch or side hatches poking heads out asking me to go slower than tickover.

please ensure your lines are tight and pins well into the ground.

[WJM]

Well said!

 

- Moderators, can we have a separate section on the forum where the boy racer 1mph and above types can for-warn the living dead of their passing. That way they can secure in advance their balancing towers of boiling cauldrons and put away their cut-throat razors. Then we will all be happy!

I always thought it was just me! I have now mastered the art of speeding in reverse, confuses the hell out of the old buggers.

That is just the kind of yobbish, loutish hooligan comment we don't want on a forum like this. We pay for our BW licenses and have a right to glasslike tranquility. What do these yobs thing the cut is, some kind of open thoroughfare for them to swan up and down while we are trying to build card towers and matchstick galleons!

There was this woman on the Llangollen standing and chatting to her friends whist holding onto the centre line of an old wooden NB.

She then procceded to bo---ck me for passing her at tickover because she couldn't hold on to it.

I kindly suggested she ------"TIE THE FECKING THING UP''

Gaggle, when you going along the Bridgewater? If it's over the weekend I shall keep an eye out for you, so I can let you know you've lost your water skier!

[Speedwheel]

Why do people always insist on tieing their boats up with a centre line. Do they not realise it will make the boat rock far more when someone goes passed and offers no extra support of any kind! Best thing for them to do is put on a springer.

OK tight lines have fun . BOB.

[Biggles]

See having an old engine solves this problem. My Lister will push me along at 2-3 mph on tick over 650rpm I Never get "slowed down". I think its the engine speed these moaners tune in to.

[sociable_hermit]

Yep. Going-past-moored-boats revs = 1,100 rpm or thereabouts on mine. It's slow but doesn't sound it - we produce no wash, and no-one bounces around, but we still get flak because it sounds quick.

Behaving like the majority of hire boaters that fly down our stretch of the Shroppie...yeah bring it on...we're used to it! Fingers crossed you bump into one coming t'uther way!

[Liam]

It's not the noise of the engine or the actual speed that the boat is travelling it is how it swims through and moves the water.

Does the 'P'in that boat number stand for 'Phylis' ?

I think that's a bit unfair to springer owners. Why not pick on LB's

Theres too many owners of them. They would cause too much trouble
