How the hell are you supposed to operate a charter with a 2 hr limit? Even cruising out at 25knots means we will have to turn around before we even get the anchor down..

I shudder to think how many charter operators are going to go under if they cant get back in business. Its hard enough to operate with all the maritime compliance costs as it is.......

Bloody hell! Or the bad decisions it might prompt some skippers to make re speed and risks.
