I am out in Onboard Rib Charters "Rascal" all day Easter Sunday. If you see a Ribeye 785 full of people give us a wave. Obviously this will be weather dependant, if it's blowing a hooley I'll be ashore in the Onboard kiosk in Gunwharf Quay hoping it doesn't blow away in the wind with me inside it.

Couple of inches in Scotland. Like bleed'n ice age here!

Had to laugh at tv ads for lawn fertiliser. I haven't seen the lawn since Last year! Hopefully out in mid April after Easter, weather dependent of course.

I think we are going for a curry next weekend if anyone wants to meet up?

Aroma Indian Cuisine, Restaurant and Takeaway, Holbury, Southampton, Hampshire. Call: 023 8089 7722 or 023 80 89 7755

And if you don't fancy boating there is always indoor rock climbing?

Which evening for the curry? I am definitely out in Onboard Charters rib "Onboard Rascal" all day Sunday and Monday (give us a wave if you see us) and may possibly be out in another rib on the Saturday. It would be good to meet some ribnetters in person.

Oh - I've just remembered I still have to try and fix the power steering pump on Blue Ray - I spent last weekend stripping the skin off my forearms on the fibre-glass hatch trying to get to it and check the power connections - still no joy.
Should have a replacement pump arriving on Tuesday (£££££!) so might have to spend Good Friday at the Dry Stack fitting it before we can get out over the weekend.
