St Malo Cruise - from the beginning

[Richard B]

The St Malo Cruise began from a number of Solent locations - in this case Hythe Marina. Oh, and it began late, very late! So here's the crew of Maverick assembled on the RIB - at least they've all got a full breakfast inside them.

...so down Southampton Water and the Solent to meet the rest of the RIBs at Lymington. Here's Geoff and Andy in "Out of the Blue"

...and HMS's crew on the Phantom Evo

and a polish built 6.3m diesel RIB, "Seahawk" with Andre and the rest of the Polish crew

It's soon time to open up those throttles once out of the river and into the Solent...
(I've now transferred onto "Awesome")

And that's a SIB on the back of Maverick

You'll have to look at Charles' photos for Alderney, as I've skipped directly to St Malo, a few shots in the dark...

The Intra Muros district of St Malo (the "old town") is like Chester or York, except that it was entirely rebuilt in the 1950s after having been completely flattened by bombing raids in WW2.

These restaraunts back on to the town walls.
