It was a pleasant day at the jetty with gentle breeze and the 10 Rater shone after some sail tuning. But then the blue intruder turned up and shenanegins occured as the ducks scattered. Here from my mavic mini drone:

WE WERE fortunate not to have had MR MOOSE OR PREATOR sailing with us today for they would have been shocked by an act of infamy perpetrated by no less than a fellow flyer and sailor The act in question was delivered by deception then it unfolded to the act itself So deceived were we that it took us a while to act in response but to protect the fleet was our first choice but then Cap’t Pete was heroic in his aggressive manoeuvres to quell this villain and send him on his way “well done captain “

Uncle G, amusing that a DF65 skipper would ram anything given that the bow has a historic weakness. You may be able to charge salvage by adding a few hooks to the tow line and trawling for them as they sink to the bottom.

Well tugboat my attempt to prevent damage to the big boat and others by bumping UNCLE G away from them was nor ramming but a gentle push (several times ) IT was only by brilliant seamanship that I escaped serious damage by UNCLE G’s unprovoked attack on our fleet sooo please restrain from advising this skipper (an I use that term lightly ) into more actions of evil ta

Kermit I have no doubt of your extreme skills in seamanship, I have read many a post of yours that you clearly tell us so. Your ability to PUSH, NUDGE, RAM without exerting any force on the bow of your craft is not in doubt. My warning was to those less experienced that may be there trying to copy your skill level that the 65 has a history of weakness in the bow. To see their craft slowly sinking after a miss judgement of a PUSH, NUDGE, RAM would be devastating for them. My comment to Uncle G was just a suggestion that if this unfortunate circumstance occurred while he was being maliciously attacked he could put his salvage hat on and help them out. At a cost of course, should not be too hard to negotiate a price with the skipper watching their craft sink. To see a 65 going faster backwards than forwards was a high light of the video but Uncle G will have to remember when salvaging the idea is to get it to shore in on piece.
