To be fair insert the words ''steer his own boat' better than the BW
chap' which is hardly surprising. The report also said that the
particular boat was almost unsteerable at the speed at which BW
required it to travel. A small increase in speed (agreed in conjunction
with the BW chap solved this.I think it must be acknowledged that the
BW 'chap', namely Fred Carter, who has now done over 1000 tunnel
transits knows the tunnel better than anyone.
