Interesting one Mark..it certainly makes sense, but like you say, how many people actually bother doing it, I never have either, but may next time I,m out, just to cover my back so to speak, as for the 6 knots bit....thats my maximum speed anyway, lol.

I spotted it a couple of months back, and the odd few times we've been down river, I've not heard a single traffic call on ch 12! All I've heard is the shields ferry calling in each way
I'm sure if everyone started doing it, they might change there minds!
happy to do it, but just wondered wether anyone actually bothered

thought that had been the practice for years, you always had to inform PTA when entreing Tyne, new bit seems to be the bit about moving acroos shipping lanes, would also say, even after doing this it is always wise to tell the coastguard as well, when you are leaving and returning and the approximinty where you will be fishing. Then they can pick the debris up after being run over by one of those floating barges full of windows they call ships, belive the last one in the Tyne was marked QE2.

Aye Aye Alan, caught a few out with that one!. It is applicable to pleasure / leisure craft including those little ships we go to sea in. When you are concentrating on missing the floating debris it is a bit of a shock to come round the pier to find a bloody great ship in the way!! As for the collision regs, biggest is best in that case. I think they just want to know if you have been bunkering off Pansy for that cheap domestic oil or not LOL!

Next time out I'm taking control of the FHM radio. I am now an expert - don't put the handset to your ear and say "over" a lot.
"Hello is there anyone there?"
"Unidentified vessel go ahead this is PTA"
"We're already going ahead thanks m8 - err Over"
"Please identify yourself - over"
"I look a bit like a fat John Noakes and am wearing a blue boiler suit, green wellys and a pirate's hat"
"Oops sorry - Over"
"How's it hanging Charlie - Pansy still afloat? - Over"
"Why aye man nowt's the bother - opps sorry - over"
"Have a good trip and mind you don't start heaving railway sleepers over the side before you're away from the piers - we've got the last episode on camera - over"
"Aye nee probs big man"
"Over and out of course"
See easy, treat the airwaves with respect - unlike Richard Bacon, John Gaunt and Sony BMG
This might be a repeat post but on the way back from that Scotland I found myself the only one able to reach the radio at one point - David Bailout refused to move his sell lest deisel started pouring out of lungs and The Skipper had dared close his eyes (and ears) for 9 minutes.
"Pansy, Pansy this is Humber coastguard state your position over!
"Humber coastguard (got that bit right) this is Pansy and I'm currently just about standing up but only because my teeth got lodged into the chart table after that last swell"
"Pansy, Pansy this is Humber coastguard state your position over!
"Aye reet heard you the first time man, chill out! We're of Berwick somewhere"
They feckin don't half gan on them coastguard lads - do they never sleep? And the shipping forecast - you can only hear "Force 9 backing madly with Force 10 expected, up your bracket for the next 6 months and you might sink" so many times before thinking - just shut the chuff up and put some Reggae on.
