Looks like the skipper done the right thing on each occasion and called for assistance, but obviously the armchair experts know better. Should start to post all the RAC & AA breakdown call outs/home starts/no fuel etc. on here and see how many red faces appear!

Travel the world and see how much charter businesses charge for a days fishing - you will be quoting how cheap the North East is every time i am sure.

Respect and protect the charter business and fishing industry or it will be gone very quickly.

as an armchair expert I would like to ask if you went on a boat trip and you had an accident and then found out it hada, had a series of mishaps, bet you would say wish we hadn't picked that boat and won't be using it again. To stop this happening to you you should look at all available information and make up your own mind which boat you go on. When you book a skipper isn't going to tell you there is a chance we might break down. Although I am an arm chair expert my son has over 25 years experience as a member of the RNLI, I do know what goes on and what annoys them, one boat owner was brought back three days on the trot by the lifeboat, to me those that do not look after their boats and use the RNLI as a means of getting home should pay the cost.

Couldnt have said it better myself alan :)
 
Appologies for the arm chair expert comment - I had a few too many beers and got a bit excited reading the post!

Still think the skipper done the right thing and made the call. Not sure if commenting on the skippers judgement is the right thing to do in public.

I agree that the RNLI do a fantastic job and I always contribute to the cause.
