Ive been meaning to put this up for ages (since January). Finally got round to downloading it off my video camera yesterday so here it is. Sorry its a bit crap but trying to keep a steady hand in a 4m rib isnt easy.....

Good video Tim, that 4m of yours goes well, looks freezing though!

ahh the video finally surfaces!! It was mighty cold that day, remember getting frozen off the needles but it was still really enjoyable!!

Nice shots Tim and good backing track, was that the sun in the back ground

I remember seeing that some time early this year. Who was you out with?

Was very cold but we had loads of fun. The drinks in the Kings Head kept the winter chills out a bit

The boats in the video are: Cormorant (my little white 4.1) the Portsmouth Uni RIB (grey 4.8) CJLs 585, and Rogue Waves 5.4 Searider which Jimbo borrowed for the day. Lurcher and outandabout also came but suffered various breakdowns in both boats at Calshot and Yarmouth and in the end had to call Sea-Start so they didn't make it to the needles.

I think later afternoon cruises are a lot more fun (we didnt get back to Calshot until after dark) especially when you get a nice sun set like we did that day.

Certainly captures some top fun Tim! Very enjoyable to watch!!!

Was that Black Rock Buoy? Frightened the bejaysus outta me leaping up like that
