MORE STEAM MACPHAIL.......VITAL SPARK OF PARAHANDY FAME.


VIC 32 passing POTC. Later on Fyne Spirit (Ex. RNAS Cockchafer, A cockshaker more like,) went plowing upriver on full throttle and nearly threw us on to the shore, we had 26 passengers on board. I expressed my disappointment to him on channel 10, as this is the Festival channel, he apologised, not good enough mate, what you did was dangerous, stupid and ignorant. There are some morons driving boats. That is what this BLOG is for, I will sound of, and if someone has an issue they can leave a comment, or get me on channel 12. Or come on board and talk. We had someone from Festival control moaning that we went past the Zap Cats to fast, even although we were doing only 1000 revs. If we had been going any slower we would have stopped. There is another character who rings from the Tall Ship making spurious complaints about us going to fast past the berth and basically most of it is down to vindictive jealousy. He has even gone as far as accusing us of damaging a boat but has failed to provide the evidence. Wee wifies. The Gilmours have set this Waterbus business up on sheer guts and determination, with very little outside help, and in doing so has attracted petty sniping from some quarters which is down to pure envy.

Pictured bellow is the Wee Spark. You need a real sense of humour to be seen in that, must go and have a look at it tomorrow, as it is the first of my four days of. Will give Fyne Spirit my regards. :o)
