Antigua trip
Just got back from another trip to Antigua. A Retube for one of the Seafari 13mtr and the other one came up from Dominica for a refurb/ new strakes.
An excellent couple of weeks working for some really good people.

Hi Andre

Thanks, no we got back yesterday on the Virgin flight via Barbados with a two and a half hour delay because of a control surface issue. Blokes crawling all over the wing in the pissing rain! Highly entertaining!!
