Brilliant as always, my how these rental companies need to do more for first time boaters. Some very simple safety tips and a little mooring advice would go a long way.
The trouble is, even the RYA “basic” Powerboat course is a two day course, that would be too much for a new boater to do out of their holiday and it’s not a legal requirement even going to sea.
WOW , what a busy day , weather looked lovely too , i know what it's like falling in , i fell in at barnes yard a few years ago , trying to pull a boat in at the side of us , but for some reason it just would'nt budge , it would only come halfway in , so i tried to pull them rest of the way & slipped in , & it was alot deeper than i thought , about 6ft deep & cold too , & it was quite frightening .
Lovely watching this thanks Jonny.. missing the broads as ya do!! 😌 great vlog hope the poor gent recovers things can turn nasty very quick. Be safe everyone. 🥰 xxx
Glad that the gentleman was not seriously hurt , a cautionary tale indeed , as a boater myself can I please urge all hirers and privateers to use their life savers when afloat and if the worse happens and you do fall in never approach the back of a boat when the engine is still running , a spinning prop is lethal !!!
Totally agree. A friend of mine lost a leg when a boat going astern sucked her into the prop’. It was only the quick thinking of another diver that saved her life.
Can’t wait to be on the boat again this week hopefully no one will go in. Last week I helped a lady that feel off a boat she leaped from hurting her leg. She was bruised thankfully not to bad.
We were here last week. Hired a 44ft cruiser and took it through Ludham bridge 4 times without any issues... not sure how so many people get stuck like this trying to take their boats through it sideways! Sadly, we didn't see you on the way through, though 😢 thanks for the videos!
Hi Jonny, the weather over there looks wonderful! It’s early morning and about five degrees here, cold in the morning but fine going up to about eighteen degrees during the day. I sound like a Pom discussing the weather all the time! Lol 😢 Thank you for another great video. The fellow falling in the drink was a bit of a worry. I am pleased that he was not badly hurt and hope that they enjoy the rest of their holiday. Have a good week from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Yes phew he was ok! As we are entering in to ‘summer’ here, you have winter! It rained most of the day today but it didn’t stopped me filming, we’ve had just over a week of fab weather so that’s it lol. All the best from the Broads
Another bit of advice you could give would be to lay off the lager when you're on the water, I've witnessed a couple of those kinds of mooring accidents, one of which required hospitalization, sad way to end your holiday.
Good For you m8, And respect for asking the chap if he was ok with you showing his slip up. I have spent the last 50 years on the broads, and the wooden sidings can get very very slippy, and mossy with very little rain, at least he did no major damage good for him.
Sadly most don't realise how danergous playing around on boats can be, and sadder still is the fact that many don't seem to pick up how to handle a boat very quickly at all.......the buggering about with dogs shd have been done waaay before the bridge, maybe the boat that was returning to the yard had issues - as i can't believe it needed thrusters to be continually used to steer the thing and finally - 'wet man'; the back of some of those boats does entice trying to get on/off from there, but frankly that's bloody dangerous (use the sides), worse - unless it was a diff engine we could hear, seems the driver didn't kill the engine straightaway; biggest lessons folks shd figure out: wear the lifejackets, do everything slower than the speed which you thought was ok, never 'jump' off a boat, remember a boat has a pivot point - it skates around that (unlike a car which has 4 tyres with friction) - and stop the frigging engine/get it into neutral soon as there's someone in the water.
I get sick of telling mainly hirers not to jump to the banks, little bit of damp or rain and it's as slippery as hell, seen far to many near misses over the years,
Ignoring the falling in, send your video section from 7:30mins to 10:00mins to the BA and the hire boat company, clearly the hirers are having problems switching between the dual helms, this is how a death occurred at Great Yarmouth. The hire fleets were supposed to have improved their handover instructions. Had this of happened at Yarmouth or a part of the Broads with strong tides, could lead to another disaster, do not leave this video unseen by the relevant authorities.

Couldn't agree more but then it’s down to the individual…..

Oh goodness! I can imagine how scary it was!

Thanks Sean! The boat was reversing but a passing boat shouted turn your engine off. But yes things can turn sour so easily.
I was going to comment on boat handling when you have someone in the water. It's something that hire companies don't teach hirers

Thanks Mikey. Contrary to gossip and hearsay I’m only there once a week. Hopefully next time!
Never realised Silver Mist has a bow thruster.
Lovely upload as always❤👍
Thanks, I think most of the ex Silver fleet have bow thrusters, please correct me if I’m wrong.

Absolutely!
I definitely agree. Leave the alcohol alone until all the sailing and boat work is done at the end of the day.
Can’t argue with that!
So glad he was ok.
I like to relax when I go fishing!😂
sign says NO SWIMING LOL
Good For you m8, And respect for asking the chap if he was ok with you showing his slip up. I have spent the last 50 years on the broads, and the wooden sidings can get very very slippy, and mossy with very little rain, at least he did no major damage good for him.
And no life jackets,that there told to wear on the hand over.
My point in this video
Also mooring on green posts for demasting only carnt they read the signage.

why do people not wear life jackets? We always do if we hire a boat

Hi Gavin, thanks for the feedback. The relevant authorities are aware.
