No more racing the Red Jet :cry:

Wonder if this has come about as a result of of the Vector Martini crash last year ?

Write yourself a risk assessment and then radio in to VTS informing them you are going fast, as it says in the notice.

They'll send the rozzers in the blow up RIB after you. I should know. I thought one was giving me a friendly race from Port Dinorwic all the way to Caernarfon. I was already berthed at Vicky dock before he siddled up. Gave him a cheery wave and offered a beer before he could start his rant. Turned out he was a good loser and let me off with a warning before accepting a brew.

Wow, down here they would have thought the brew was a bribe and nicked you for attempted bribery then done you for whatever offence they could just to get an extra statistic in the little book of results. :lol:

No we are a little bit more laid back up here. Good people up North Wales. We all know each other, he expressed the gravity of the offence and a stern warning, but still had a banter and a laugh. Fair doos to him, he knew it was not a conscious offence on my part, nor were we in crowded water. Just made a few waves that spilt some raggies tea half a mile off in Port Dinorwic. We know the raggie well too, he called it in to the rozzer and said to bring the breathalyser rig with. The git :lol:
