DOVER COASTGUARD DEALS WITH NUMEROUS INCIDENTS AFTER WINDY WEATHER
MAKES SEA CONDITIONS TREACHEROUS

(Because the BBC does not show synoptic charts or wind speeds any
more)

Senior Coastguard Watch Manager at Dover Pete Legg said after the
incidents that he would like to re-emphasise the importance of
obtaining and understanding weather details by leisure yachtsmen and
he also reiterated the importance of good auxiliary engine maintenance
after the winter break.

He never mentioned the quality of the BBC's service. Rather he seemed to
emphasise that at this time of the year a lot of Sunday sailors get into
difficulty for being thick.
