OK so it wasn't hundreds of square miles it was a 200metre ship and a barge full of rocks...still a pretty unfortunate collision in 'quite a lot of water', don't you think....

Yeah that's right, don't listen to the googlers, you know, those who've actually presented some facts to show what a busy place the Dover Straits are. Sheesh.

When I learnt to sail I was told that if you can sail in the Solent, you can sail anywhere. That still stands.

I have travelled through the Channel many times on many sizes of commercial shipping. You don’t want to know what seafarers say about yacht sailors.
