We moor stern on at Chedgrave, just beyond Pacific. Lack of courtesy and reducing speed is a constant problem there. Some owners and hirers just don’t appear to understand that on arriving at that final stretch of the narrow Chet, they are pushing a large volume of water down a narrow channel and the faster they go the worse it’s effects are. The moored craft swing sometimes violently backwards and forwards on mass as they pass and can result in damage.
When they choose not to look your way and keep eyes forward, ignoring well intentioned gestures or signals to reduce speed, it is beyond annoying. At a gentle speed we hardly move at all. Why is it so difficult to understand?
