A bit Scary

by Bigplumbs » 13 Aug 2017, 17:36

So the weather was nice but still quite a chop so decided to go round from the Deben and up the Orwell/Stour for this first time and on your way back this hooved into view. I kept well clear but it was still a little scary

It's the size of the wake they produce as they steam through the Solent that amazes me!! :o

This one was going very slow and I kept my distance and there was actually no wake noticeable

When the Swansea - Cork ferry was running used to queue up ready in the bay so we could kneeboard over the huge wake.
