Nice to see our OASIS friend flying around again yesterday, quite missed him on Sunday.<BR/>By the way it was not jet skiers who were the problem on Thursday, it was a Dutch yacht going into the channel ahead of the ferry. What you thought were jet skis were 3 Belgian RIB's entering alongside the ferry. Not the right thing to do but they were not impeding the ship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-15368174379758902492007-07-19T23:57:00.000+01:002007-07-19T23:57:00.000+01:00Sign my Downing Street petition to stop the traini...Sign my Downing Street petition to stop the training flights then! The link is on the sidebar on the right.<BR/><BR/>They seem to have the jetskiers corralled in Herne Bay, perhaps TDC could learn a lesson from CCC in that respect. Well, in every respect really.<BR/><BR/>I was chatting with a nautical chum earlier about this incident and I put it to him that a jetski is pretty nippy and manoeuverable so it would have no trouble getting out of the way of the ferry in the approach channel. His response was: 'And if the jetski packs up?' I take his point. Ferries hardly come equipped with ABS as standard.Richard Eastcliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10514972891192411470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-62312331528051749392007-07-19T19:42:00.000+01:002007-07-19T19:42:00.000+01:00When I saw the headline I thought your article wou...When I saw the headline I thought your article would be about the jets that seem to be doing circuits and bumps most weekdays now as well? Surely there must be some rules about where the jetskiers can go on those pesky things - I mean within how many metres of a shipping lane or something like that. Serve him right if he did get sucked under the ferry. I hate unnecessary noise just for its own sake just like those pesky minibikes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
