It was already £1.31 in Alnwick. I'm sure it will be higher again by the end of the week end.

Good plan. We could ALL make plans for the hijack and two hard boats, a Jetski, Gotchi, Jim and I might turn-up.

We launch from Amble next to the marina.

Also have a mooring down there so we can get straight out.

Maybe we could also hijack a container of XD100, mix it all up and free fuel for all etec users in the UK for a couple of years

I have visions of you watching the AIS very intently just before making the Floptilla crossing.

I want no part of it.

Besides, my next boat is going to be a diesel.
