Warning

[biggcol]

All boat owners beware. Last night Bobi and I were down at North Haven and we noticed a fishing boat going around the moorings with no nav lights on. The night crew on duty at NHYC decided to check out the boat and took the club water taxi to investigate whilst we observed with binoculars. All the time this boat had no lights on but as the taxi approached them they turned on their lights and fish finder which we could clearly see as it was an open boat. The guys on the taxi confronted them and they said they were pinging mullet with their sounder but we are 100% certain that the sounder was not on until the taxi approached them. They had nets and a PE number (which the night watch didn't note which is a shame) in our minds we are certain they were checking out the boats they spent a lot of time around one of the bigger sail boats.

 

In view of it being the boat jumble at Beaulieu this weekend please take extra care and keep your eyes open for any boats in and out of moorings even fishing boats. These guys were definitely up to no good, they cleared off after they were confronted!!!!!

most of the buggers come under the bridge right next to where we are Dave. The estate just round the corner is rife with them. I know, I used to live there and know half of them!
