    Or is your boat a bit biggish and your radar is mounted higher than those little steel sides those ships have?

    Sorry.... Can't help having fun with this.... You'll get plenty of chances to have a dig back at me... I am averaging a silly mistake a week at the moment.

    " it was bloody unbelievable, this pr@&k just lined me up and started coming for me, I couldn't do nothing, he had this mad look about him, just kept inching closer and closer, I tried to wave him away but he was just mocking me, just kept reading his mag and having his smoke, then he just bumped me and turned around and f$#ked off, not a word, nothing....bloody strange It was I tell ya"

    A few years ago was trolling inside Moreton, with usual deckie/ brother-in-law in my old c/console Sportfish in my normal position of sitting on the helm, looking aft, watching the 'riggers & lures. Bro-in-law asks if I want a cuppa. "Fine" I replied. I then heard" Goodness, gracious me" or something like that, for as he'd turned to the bow he saw that we were about 10 metres from being squashed by the big blue car carrier I'm sure we in the Bay have all seen. I've never been more thankful of a perfet response from 175 horses than that time. Funnily enough Old Mate brings it up regularly. In all seriousness though, we were bloody lucky & no ones fault but my own. They really motor, hey, & therein lies the danger for a lot of inexperienced boaties who think they can cut across their bow etc.
