The current O/S crisis disgusts me, but one thing I'm enjoying is the powerboats have slowed dramatically in my part of the coast to save fuel. The small wakes and less jets skis etc is a real positive.

Much more pleasant to be on the mooring doing maintenance than usual, loving that aspect of this period.

Yes it seemed to be quieter on the harbour yesterday
