Better and cheaper than the damage Carvinal usually do in Italian waters. :roll:

And probably not as bad as the wash posts on 'the other forum' from MOBO's (glad we have a name now), not sure Saga will cover that much damage. bunch of idiots over there :? :P

That is weird because I have always been amazed at how little wash the cruise ships in the Solent create.in fact usually none at all and that shop did not seem to be going very fast?

Looking at that he pointed his motor pods (often large elec motors on these things) directly at the marina on fairly significant amounts of power. Dumbarse driver error by the look of it, to have required that in the first place, or I'm being harsh but doesn't look windy or tidal...

I agree, looks like he cut in a bit tight then had to use too much power to swing round the marina area.

Total prat at the helm.
