C'mon own up, who rammed it?

It was foggy Christmas night to be fair; must’ve been a steel or ferro hull that uprooted it!

If my memory serves me right, when we brought RT back across Breydon, Ali and I spotted a couple of channel markers laying on a barge or marque or perhaps on the bank. I did make some comment about 'torpedoes'. I will have to look through the video footage I have.

In years long gone by, when the Broads really froze, it was not uncommon for the resultant ice flows to take posts out to sea. The other great remover of posts were the coasters that used to trade up to Cantley and Norwich, especially if there was a dense mist!

Or one of Brundall's finest has a dirty great gouge in its gel-coat!

Hmm Jmm... I wonder if this was an ASBO(at) incident, putting my Tin Tin hat on and noting Timbo’s observation that the offending post may have just been ‘laying... on the bank’ perhaps it had a bit of help getting afloat from both high tide and a scallywag or two, alternatively a bit of wash if the Braydon Races were on & attended by some gin palace’s looking for somewhere to have a smoke!

I thought that they did that whilst under way, acrid clouds of the stuff!
