The first few boats created a small, manageable wash. However, the final three boats were speeding along and created a MASSIVE wash which sent bodies, tools and mugs flying. But the poor bas tards in the coxed eight were practically swamped and got thoroughly soaked (the Oxford crews have been out practising all weekend). The rowers waved and shouted at the boats to slow down, but to no avail. They also did not respond to our hails on the radio, so we advised Teddington Lock of their poor conduct. All the boats were flying a defaced Blue Ensign, and the last offending boat had a blue/black hull. Please, please watch your wash. As it says in the PLA guide for Thames River users " "Be aware of what your wash is doing, both to other users and the banks and foreshore. If necessary, reduce your speed." ." Otherwise, it ruins the enjoyment for the rest of us and gives all Mobos a bad name. OK - moan over. Just had to get that off my chest (after washing off the tea spilt down my shirt earlier ).
