Jean Paul Satre said "L'enfer, c'est les autres," - crude translation is “Hell is other people“! Glad you and Katy are ok!

Got to the Harbour Entrance a bit late and consequently had wind over tide which is never good here. With a few kids on board I decided to turn back and have an evening a Chichester Yacht Club. Cowes can wait for a nicer day. 

On return through the lock there was an almighty thump as the boat ahead to the right of me accidentally put his reverse on fully, smashing in to the bow of the boat behind lifting her almost vertically and smashing her in to the closed lock gate. Crew fell in to the screams of the lock keeper to turn off engines. With people in the water and a wayward propeller it could have been a lot worse. No one was hurt but a lot of plastic will need repairing. Katy got a bit of a smack but she’s a Westerly so the Jeaneaux came off a lot worse. Hardly a scratch so not worthy of the insurance bother. 

It’s a Rough Bar Today
