We had to temporarily tie against a powerboat, as the waiting/fuel pontoon was like bees round a honey pot. Next moment we were drifting at right angles across the channel (Mr Spanish power boat was not tied on properly). When our verbal encouragements convinced him to stop chatting on his mobile, he started his engines and began to panic: (at which point so did we, as we could not reach his cleats to untie ourselves). We had an exciting ride before we got free: The only reason we did not swear at him was because all the other boat crews were screaming abuse as he bashed into then. We VERY fortunately emerged unscathed ……… Afterwards apart from being bumped twice by a couple of little barcos, it was all very relaxing; well sailing is isn’t it?
