Dredging

From a newbie perspective the trouble with the posts is that on other parts of the system you can go outside of the channel without any issue(I'm thinking Barton) so when you get down to Breydon after a few days, feeling like you're getting the hang of it etc, you perhaps don't give the channel quite the same respect as you need to....

You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink!

Doesn't matter how long you have been driving, there will always be the occasional few who will forget all they know, and drive down an exit slip on to a motorway, with the inevitable fatal consequences, and not just for themselves. You cannot and never will, stop silly and/or stupid errors occurring. Sadly!!

From an oldies perspective, you should stay within the posts on Barton, and then when you come across them in almost every other location, you should not come to a lot of harm.

And NOT vice versa!!!!!

Where? Within the posts?

You and I alike but seemingly it's not apparent to everyone! I have been in between the red and the green only to be shouted at by the the skipper of a boat well outside the channel warning me that I was the wrong side of the posts, that was just before he ran aground. 

Maybe they  had been reading their history books & thought the channel was reserved for Coasters ?

Perhaps!

What continues to surprise me is the length of the 'prop' trench. Surely common sense would have suggested that the noise of the mud & debris being churned up was not good, that neutral would have been more sensible?  Might not going astern have been worth considering?

Looks like he had twin outdrives? But only a trench leading to one, suggesting the other wasn't operational. Maybe a mechanical failure?
