Reminds me of an incident at the Upnor Sailing Club some years ago. I was acting as duty bosun, and keeping an ear on the VHF Radio whilst sitting in the bar.
It was one of those days when it was better to be in the Club House wishing that you were at Sea, rather than at Sea, wishing that you were in the Club House.
Over the VHF " Upnor etc. This is XXXXXX - I'am diverting to Queenborough, its bad out here !"
" Upnor Club, This is AAAAAA - If XXXXXX don't make it can I have his dinghy parking space ?"
