On the Waverley the passengers get off above the paddle so that is risky on the pier , the gangway on the I o m boats were ok going up /down ,but with the paddles you couldn't,t do that , when the I o m boats were running we were in proper radio contact as the weather con can change all the time , the 2guys on the pier are not allowed to bring the boats in (Waverley send their own over ),and that is another reason why no boats won,t come in ,the pier owners won't insure them to bring them in , if you know what I mean .
