Praise for ferry captain
Is it appropriate to "dob in" a ferry driver who was giving surfers a lift (Forum, Peninsula News September 29)?
Having surfed Little Box Head in my younger days, I only wish that the ferry service was around then.
I say well done to the driver, even though he will probably lose his job now.
I am sure the surfers were in no danger.
After all, they were going into the water with or without the ferry driver who saved them a lot more dangerous paddle.
No ferry driver would let a surfer jump out while the propeller was still going - that would be dangerous.
For every passenger who thought it was a dangerous act, there were probably 10 who were glad to see something that does not happen every day!
Now where is that board of mine?
It's time to catch the ferry.
