pks1702 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I reckon this is Dylan's finest yet but it is our home stomping ground so perhaps I am biased. The production is excellent and shows Harwich, Felixstowe, and The Stour. At one of our favourite summer anchorages Wrabness one of our club members can be seen taking it easy at 11.49 http://www.youtube.com/user/KeepTurningLeft#p/c/38685E27E80D3CE3/25/uSxJgw5rwoM mmm don't know why that won't embed?

goodall_m1 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I see in the news today that some plonker tried to do it the other way i.e. by keeping turning right and was rescued when he ran out of fuelafter continually circumnavigating the Isle of Sheppy "I was just keeping the coast on my right" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DAYTONA-BILL Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Stupidity like that reminds me about a tale i heard a couple of years or so ago. A chap bought a large exspensive cabin cruiser somewhere near Southampton, and wanted to take it to one of the South coast harbours where he wanted to moor it. He and his crew had to be rescued when they ran aground in a very dangerous area, and when asked if he`d been using at an up to date chart, he replied "yes, it`s Collins latest edition", and produced a Collins ROAD ATLAS of the UK. It`s no wonder the health and safety gestapo want everybody to have to do a course to get a liscence before they can get a boat. Regardsto all ............. Neil.

pks1702 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 He based his premise on Keep Turning Right http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... coast.html Clearly did not realise that his next turn right was the Swale which would lead him back whence he came...... At low tide you will run aground around Elmly and that appears what happened Looks like he was brought in at Queenborough ATL. Good job he did not take his first right otherwise he would have been in Stangate Creek. Really should not be allowed out without a carer - He could drive to Southampon by car on a tank of fuel so thought he could do it in a boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdnamsGirl Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I've never been to Sheppey ... but surely after 36 hours of going round and round it, there must have been some familiar landmarks which he would have passed a few times! Coastguard Ian Goodwin said: 'We passed on relevant safety advice and advised him that the best way to Southampton would be by train" Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antares_9 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Poor old Mr Darwin, he comes up with a perfectly workable theory of natural selection for the advancement of mankind and we mess it up by saving people from themselves and dropping them back in the gene pool. I guess that will need to be factored in to the theory now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pks1702 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 http://www.keepturningleft.co.uk/index.php Another excellent piece of work This illustrates well how confused The Deben entrance can be even on a calm day. Throw in a moderate NE to SE wind and you have the perfect recipe for your own roller coaster. Just make sure your Helm Pump does not pack up exiting in these conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
