"ONE of them is going to get minced one day."
That is the fear of two Whanganui boaties have for swimmers who they say are acting dangerously by getting in the way of boats at the Wharf St boat ramp.
Graeme and Ray, who didn't want to give their surnames, are keen fishermen who regularly use the boat ramp. They say that in warm weather people like to swim and jump off the wharf.
"This becomes a problem when they don't realise the boats have right of way," Graeme said.
In a recent event, the two friends, who had been fishing in Graeme's boat, were attempting to bring the boat back to the wharf and load it on to their trailer, when they were "inundated" by young people jumping off the wharf.
