:00:40. > :00:42.We got hit with a wave which knocked us over.
:00:43. > :00:46.Basically the top of the mast hit the water and snapped.
:00:47. > :00:49.The crew just did what we are trained to do.
:00:50. > :00:54.It was quite a big swell so every time the boat went away,
:00:55. > :00:57.we'd lose sight of it before we could see what was going
:00:58. > :01:01.on with our own boat, so it was really quite rough.

:02:15. > :02:16.with two unitary authorities, but the other three councils
:02:17. > :02:30.want to keep things as they are. This is a very crude map of Dorset's

:03:01. > :03:05.rejected by Christchurch councillors. It's not democratic.
:03:06. > :03:09.People want to keep control of their own destiny. Bournemouth and Paul
:03:10. > :03:14.can join together if they want to and meanwhile we have a combined
:03:15. > :03:19.authority which is a strong business voice for Dorset. In Purbeck the
:03:20. > :03:25.council vote on the mergers were split 11 - 11, the plans rejected by
:03:26. > :03:29.the casting vote. It is a bad idea. The bigger councils will get all the
:03:30. > :03:36.money and we will not get anything. Do mergers work? Democratically
:03:37. > :03:43.there will be less councillors so less representatives of people,
:03:44. > :03:49.perhaps a conservative stranglehold. This is not rocket science. It works
