Road Kill
“As we reached the entrance to Belfast Lough the captain throttled back to barely ten knots and ambled towards the city port. “When they first started running the fast cat service they used to come steaming up the Lough at full chat,” William explained when Daz asked him why, “until they discovered that the wake was actually washing dog walkers off the coastal path. Now they have to slow it down a bit.” Just before we docked, Paxo dug in his backpack and distributed a set of walkie-talkies wit...h headsets and microphones that velcro’d in to the lining of our helmets. “They’ll work up to about a mile apart,” he said, “and the mic’s voice activated, so don’t sing while you’re riding along or we’ll all have to suffer it.” He gave Sean a look of insincere apology that there weren’t enough to go round. “Sorry mate – didn’t know you were coming.” “Don’t worry about me,” Sean said easily. “I’m sure I’ll manage to keep up and, anyway, I know where you’re going.” That comment netted him some sharp glances, not least from me, but he forestalled any further questions by picking up his gear and following the announcement for all vehicle drivers to return to the car decks.
