    I know a guy who has been married 4 times and he is the loveliest bloke, never goes looking for love but always gets found, usually by an attractive woman with underlying issues that soon develop. I missed his last wedding, sent a note saying sorry “see you at the next one”.

      The boat hasn't mounted the lock gate; its through it by a good 10 feet and gate is open. So whilst the boat was partially out of the lock, someone has opened the bottom paddles and drained the water out of the lock and the pound above, though why anyone would want to do this on purpose is beyond me! However, I did once have half a sheep stuck on the prop and had to go into a lock heading 'downhill', get the boat stuck on the cill and drain a bit of water out of the lock, then attack the sheep whilst standing on top of the cill. All in all, not one of the most pleasent episodes in my life!!😁

Especially the last 15 years as people who have money have bought their first boats often in the 40'-50' range and no boating experience, no wonder our insurance rates have skyrocketed! Money definitely doesn't buy brains or manners.

    i have driven a small boat 1-2 times. so not much experience at all. but even i know, when you approach something (lock, mooring,..) you do it slowly. a boat has momentum, you can not stop it like a car. i think some people forget (or don't know) that.

      You can stop a boat quick. But it's not a good option. I once came into a dock dead of night. I was going very slow. The dock was about 2 inches away my friend was impressed. Put it in gear take it out. Rinse repeat. Slow and steady. Rule #1 of boating. Don't rush. And rule #2 don't let anyone else rush you. Focus on the task until the engine is cut. 👍
      BTW reverse does act like a break. I almost got thrown from a boat cause I wasn't ready for it but knew it was coming.

    Maximum steering without wasted flow is achieved by
    goin back to tick over,
    centre tiller,
    then up the throttle wait half a second or a second then push the churn if its easy to push tiller then you pushed too early.
    If you just hold it full tilt its clearly pushing churn both ways if you look back at the churn.
    So from full tilt at high revs go back to tik over push tiller back to centre up throttle wait a second then turn the churn
    You can repeat this and your turn will be much more turn and less forward wasted energy

    That boat that rammed the gates didn’t even attempt to slow down, in fact he keep the throttle going after he hit the gate ..it looked as though he was trying to ram the gates open and go thru without getting his lazy self out of his boat and manually open the gates…is that even possible?

      Because the balance of masses and forces, this way the opposites cancel each other out; if they did both on the same side the cumulative force applied to this planet at that latitude would impact the angular momentum of Earth's rotation and before you know it a week would be eight days long.

    Slow down and reduce steerage when passing oncoming traffic shows his lack of knowledge. Revs and water flowing past the rudder is a must to maintain good steerage. Wait until you try that slowing down trick when navigating past large moving vessels!
