Sorry to hear that, have they damaged the boat at all?

 

I dont know the number, what is it only joking.

 

You still up for Sunday assuming your maiden voyage on friday goes ok?

Wow!! The bassTurds!!

 

Hope everything is all ok with the boat and trailer.

 

How do they have the nerve to do something like this...

 

I bet you gave the Cobbs Quay guys a roasting!!

Mark,

 

Presumably all this was done in view of the web camera ?? Amazing.

Sorry to hear this Mark

 

Unfortunately people do drive into boatyards and hitch up boats - no one will think twice.

 

I was pleased to see the barrier in use over the weekend - I had to drop some spanners back late Saturday and parked outside to avoid the hassle. However if there was a camera anywhere it should be recording pasage through this point - and I don't think it does.

 

Glad you still have her

thanks guys the boat was not damage and the trailer belongs to oceanique but she will be ready thursday i hope if there are no more set backs .

Hi Mark

Sorry to hear that the new boat has been attacked before you have even had her out fishing.

I am sure the staff at Cobbs are doing all they can to help.

 

Have you reported it to the Marine Police? they are always very interested in near misses when they occur.

Call me at work/mobile and I will give you the numbers and email addresses to use.

 

They also chase up any CCTV that may cover Cobbs at the time of the incident.

 

The bastards were obviously disturbed and fled, so at least you still have her.

 

Wheel Clamps are unfortunatly not much of a deterent. Which is why I take the toys off my boat.

Perhaps to much has been said about your new boat on the site, anyone can log in as a guest I think.

 

Tight lines on Sunday

Do log it as Charlie says.

 

I spole to Rockly this morning and they had not been advised of 'activity' although they usually are - ie it's worth logging it.

We can, though, take a look at the IP addresses. This gives some indication of where the guest is coming in from.....

 

 

Oops I am a guest

Hi Mark,

Sorry to hear about the goings on at cobbs,hope no damage to loyal,

only to your nervous system!!

Its well known at cobbs that boats get tamperd with, and are even removed and on the cross channel ferry with new I.D. and doc's B.4. they even know there missing so with yours being brand new, it could well have been a target.

 

Did you manage to get out and give the BEAST a blast?

[Adam F]

nope - he woosed out, and stayed at home!. If I had a boat like his - id be out in a force 9!!!!

[Paul D]

But didn;t you do that in Tara as well ???? ( Perfect storm trip )

[Nipper]
