The V&A water taxi driver obviously didn't realise quite what a high spring tide it was and thought he could just squeeze under the Bascule Bridge. He couldn't. There was a howling south-easter blowing which jammed the boat sideways so hard against the bridge that they couldn't open it for fear of ripping the sea shuttle's roof off. amaBele Belles to the rescue! casting off Thanks to Alan Rennie for the pictures
