Ryadiia - 27 May 2007 07:14 GMT

I collected Ryadia (my catamaran) from Maars (yep, they are from a different
planet there, right enough) and sailed it up to Manly boat harbour where it
will live for a month or so until I get approval for a fixed moring closer
to home.

A bit of a shock to turn the corner and have to give way to one of these
yachts! http://www.ryadia.com/PFF/boys-toys.htm

The rules of the seaway do not mention size. It's give way to ALL craft
when they have right of way!

The practical rules of the road at sea indicate you give way to larger
and/or much uglier (as in beat up) vessels.....

Don't be yellin' no "Starboard Tack!!!" at no tanker, and ye be safer....

See, it's like I said all along, Ryadia has slipped his moorings!
