A little tale

I heard a little story yesterday........

It was about 4 people who took a boat to the Isle of Wight,
It was going well, a little rough then bang.

Checking the boat over they found the fan belt had come off,
O dear........its rough and the boats drifting,

Make a call to Sea Start (the water equivalent to the AA or RAC)
Call the Coastguard and advise them, but give the boats name not his own.
Lucky that no one heard his voice.
It wasn't me before anyone asks!

Just being a member of the Coastguard, doesn't stop you having problems.
Sea Start arrived, fixed the belt and a good weekend was had by all.

In fairness it wasn't his boat and it was done all very safely, it just made me smile that even the experts get it wrong sometimes .......I won't say who it was but check the labels!
