Moron of the Month

Reminds me of a time when in my youth(a long time ago) I was at a beach party near Gurnard Isle of Wight. It was in the early hours and the fire was embers and we were sort of drowsing and thinking of going home when a flare was sent up very close followed by a shout of "help we are sinking we have children on board" Two of us ran down the beach to a motor cruiser who had gone aground. We said pass the children down we will take them to the beach. A very plummy voice demanded "where are we" Reply. Gurnard Isle of wight

My God I tought we were in France.!!!

Stupid tw*t had left Hamble cruised around the Solent most of the night and then gone aground on soft mud just west of Gurnard. Needless to say we left him to wait for the tide to come in and refloat him and told him if he headed for that big chimney over there(Fawley power station) it was nearly home.

Seems things havent got any better even thirty years on.

 

And I'll have you know, Gods own County is clearly delineated by a natural boundary.

The River Medway separates the Southern Elite from the Northern Numpties and
inbreds.

Furthermore there is another River Boundary that borders the North Coast separating it
from an even more socially and evolutionary inferior group who cluster around a region
they refer to as Sarfend...

Banjo's, can often be heard playing when the winds in the North, they count everything
in sixes, refer to their mothers as sis and spend a lot of time in homes with wheels on
them.(That have now sadly fallen off)

The trouble with idiots like this is they provide ammunition for those who want to regulate our sport.

The fact that the guy seemed to of not learnt his lesson and intended to repeat his foolishness is incredible. So how do you stop him, you can’t just not rescue him next time, no matter how stupid you think he is. But you don’t want to be wasting RNLI resources and endangering crews on avoidable launches.

The only thing I can think of is that in this case the RNLI should claim salvage on his boat. If he’s as ignorant about the sea as reported, he won’t have known that this could have happened.

I know the RNLI don’t tend to claim salvage, but in this case I would say it is the safest thing for everyone.

Why can't they just watch?

I remember having similar thoughts while the tw$ts from top-gear were sinking off Dover..... oh how I'd have loved to be in command of one of those ferries at that point..... "crunch" - "what was that?" - "oh, nothing".....
