Another Accident

There has been another boating accident and once again there was no safety equipment or a skipper with a valid licence on the offending boat… the boat was the barge from Stone haven on the Vaal and it crashed into Charl Engelbrecht’s Ranger… fortunately no one was hurt but the Ranger is not at all happy. :blue-sad:

wow this is be coming a common problem, it's scary to know that things in this matter is now happening too often. I do understand but the river police is quite good when it comes to checking, so sorry to hear about the boat, happy nobody is hurt

Gee Wiz how can a boat that charges people to go for rides not be legal. That is classed as a commercial boat and the laws are much stricter for them than for pleasure craft
