Incredibly
rude
river,
Marshalls!
As
a
professionaly
working
skipper,
I
navigate
the
regatta
stretch
on
a
regular
basis
during
this
weekends
royal
regatta.
I
attempted
my
very
best
to
cooperate
with
the
marshals
in
order
to
allow
for
the
races
to
go
ahead,
despite
this
being
an
active
hindrance
on
my
self
.
My
repayment
for
my
patience
and
goodwill.
Was
to
be
repeatedly
shouted
at
by
Marshalls,
who
were
both
not
paying
attention
when
it
mattered
and
,
seemingly
had
no
understanding
of
the
river.
This
really
saddened
me
and
disappointed
me
as
members
of
the
river
community.
It
is
important
for
us
to
cooperate
and
understand
each
other’s
different
needs
and
uses
of
the
river.
The
city
of
Oxford
marshals
have
no
regard
for
any
of
the
other
river
users,
and
rather
than
being
grateful
for
the
cooperation
in
stead
to
use
it
as
an
opportunity
to
take
out
their
frustrations
On
us!
whilest
i
understand
they
have
a
‘
legal‘
right
to
enforce
these
rules
due
to
a
historical
Bylaw
(
that
could
be
ignored
due
to
its
historical
nature
and
its
contradictory
nature
to
real
Morden
laws)
this
aside,
regardless
of
the
legality
is
it
too
much
to
ask
for
simple
courtesy?
I
would
also
like
to
add
Regardless
of
the
legality
of
the
races
them
selves,
I
witnessed
multiple
Speedboats
going
at
least
four
times
the
legal
speed
limit
of
the
river!
This
only
leaves
me
to
question
whether
the
river
coads
were
purposely
being
ignored
or
simply
haven’t
been
taught
?
There
was
point
where
they
almost
caused
one
of
their
oun
Rowers
to
collide
with
the
boat
I
was
skippering
at
the
time
due
the
the
large
amount
of
wash
created
by
the
extremely
large
out
bord
to
the
speed
boat
(
whilest
obviously
speeding).
Just
one
example
of
dangerous
boting,
I
witnessed
throughout
this
regatta.
Overall,
extremely
disappointed
by
this
regatta,
I
was
actually
looking
forward
to
the
event,
being
a
fan
of
the
sport
of
rowing
and
a
previous
rower
my
slef
and
I
would
like
to
clarify,
do
not
blame
the
individual
rowers,
nor
the
team
to
participated,
but
rather
the
por,
organisational
skills
incompetence
as
well
as
outright
aggression
I
experienced
from
those
organising
the
envent!
This
is
a
PERSONAL
STAMENT
and
is
NOT
Affiliated
to
any
organisation
