Sounds awesome. Proper boating!

I'm just wary of people posting where a brand new boat/engine is these days!

my rig at menia bridge

launched nitrox for the first time at menia bridge with ians humber for cover and photo shots. We had a great day, the slip was clear due to the time of year, launching here is hard due to the size boat/road turning, but managed ok. low water slack was about 4 25pm as we launched at 1 30pm so a sort time we had to play neal ps thanks Andy for the pics

never too proud to go out on boats... even ribquests, just too busy. Teething time.

Any spare time is sleep time at the mo.

What's the difference between a hedgehog and a Ribquest?
The pricks are on the outside of a hedgehog!

Hedgehogs travel at up to 2mph. They'd give your 4pot a good run for it's money!

Usually just of the pier at tayvallich but at the moment it is safely bedded down for the winter on land.
We will keep the wasp's going against all odds including theses damned Humber & Redbay owners!! : He'll be along in a moment no doubt.

Keep the banter going over these cold winter months.
