Ever heard a grown man scream?
I did last night, I almost wet myself from laughter. I was piloting the mount batten ferry last night as you do, and the weather seemed to take a nice turn for the worse, lots of rain and a nice breeze of around 30-35knots wsw. So anyway the boat (29ft long, open stern,pilot cabin) was rocking just a tad, I thought it was great fun but due to the fact that I could not see very well as the waves were crashing over the bow and as it was getting dark I was going to close early. good call really as it was getting even worse. Anyway on the last run a guy got on worrying about whether its safe to cross, I of course said yes, as it was...ish. So on the way over we hit some really nice waves, boom, all my stuff went all over the place and the door to the bow cabin came off. At this point the guy was screaming, I looked over to him and said 'its going to be ok'. I at this point was on the verge of laughing a little out loud, but with my pure powers of control kept it in
Now I would like to point out that if we were really in any danger I would not be taking the piss out of this guy. He just wasnt much of a boat swain.
Man I wish I was out in a jetski yesterday
one day one day
