I snapped this clown on the way to Bray on Saturday afternoon, and I was doing more like 6mph, although with no wash worth mentioning.

He was hammering along...'KAIKOURA' you have been named and shamed

Now can anybody recommend any non-marking slippers?

He was moored behind me and i was too busy grinning at the lock keeper to notice any names

Actually he launched just after chertsey , just at the end of the camp site so it would have been Penton hook where he was told about his wash and bought a licence . I assume if the EA want to follow it up it was a Saturday afternoon no more than two months back . It was about 3 o clock i think and he was asking if he could get to Windsor and back before the lockie knocked off

I think we are better trying to get pics of him just for the laugh . Trust me it is very funny .

I find it strange re all the chit/chat that goes on re the "Bray/ Penton Hook" area. You guys need to get above Iffley/Kings and really chill.

This weekend was the worst we have seen in the last year, in terms of idiots and speeders.

And for once, we were not participating

No name on the boat I could see, although it may have been blurred considering the speed he was doing lol

Will upload the bad quality pic tomorrow

Getting pictures might be funny but when some idiot comes past that quickly that it snaps your mooring post in half and all the EA have to say is " unless we have some sort of evidence we can't do anything" you don't catch me laughing alot. These stupid people should be given more than a telling off, how I don't know. Any ideas?

You would have thought so but the EA did not want to know.
