.....We are sailing well and I notice a large rib approaching us from ahead. I remember looking at the flare pack strapped to her rail as she passed us and thinking that she was well equiped, when she did a sudden turn behind us and comes up alongside.
Speedwell, Speedwell this is Royal Navy rib on your starboard quarter, please switch to Channel xx. So the turn across our stern was to get the yacht’s name…
Speedwell we are carrying out trials of fast underwater objects in this area can you please alter course to pass north of position xxx / nnn…
Please? Oh I like polite types. But this the same navy who put their first prototype Spearfish torpedo up a beach and across the eighteenth green of a golf course at 70 odd knots a few years ago......
