Sry Man! But i reckon its not cool going so close and even touching ppls boats when they not there.

You're probably right.. I've been paddling this area for years almost daily and got to meet most of the guys who own these boats.. The guy doing up that old tug/fishing boat is a really nice guy.. I know for a fact he wouldn't mind.. . I'll often stop and talk to these guys as I'm paddling past while they paint or scrap bird poo off their boats.. Often I'll sit on the edge of their boat and chat and I've never been asked not to because they can see I'm very careful and not damaging anything.. Actually lots of these boats rarely get used or touched but that will all change with the new marina.. It's usually the old couta boats that I might sometimes sit on (for a minute or so) and you're right.. Probably not cool.. It's not something I do all the time.. Paddling under that beautiful big cat was probably not cool.. But I was very careful not to touch or damage it.. I guess it's like someone leaning against your car while it's parked in a public car park.. Some people wouldn't mind.. Some would think 'not cool'.. Maybe I shouldn't do it anymore.

Nice vid DJ happy to give my 9.5 minutes .Have to agree with comments about going to close and boarding moored boats , I know you meant no harm but some boaties are very edgy about that especially the old pros.. they might keel haul you.
