I can't emphasise enough how important it is to have something to eat. Most people are ill becase they eat nothing, then the stomach juices and acid start to bubble up and wallop! Seagull Soup!!!
Just got Fully Comp Insurance and breakdown cover from Direct Line for £15.00.  |
I had the pleasure of a force 9 + on a trip back from Zebrugge 4 hour crossing,half way and captain said we may have to turn back.We carried on towards Dover,had to have 2 tuggs take us in to stop us hitting harbour walls.
The crew got everyone to lay down with legs up against the nearest wall.
If you tried to walk you would loose your feet each time boat dropped. Scared the fook out of me.
Dont mention sodding fishing trips,went out 9 miles off Newhaven,ate the big breakfast as i was ensured thats the best thing. 7 hours of pewking,hell yeah that was grim. Never again.
Having said all that,was many years ago and since then i have been cool with boats,even went to gottenburg by ship,23 hours. Wish they didnt have the bloomin casino on board
Nice one with the insurance mate,will have to sort mine today.
