Another epic sr Solent trip. Really hope David made it back ok heading straight into the wind....

Andre's Parker cutting through the water as if it wasn't there as usual....while we enjoyed the following sea on the way back in the sr :-)

Could feel the water is colder now..especially in your face at 30knts! :-)

Really like that little rib of yours Peter.

Seems like your having loads of fun in it. Constantly makes me think about my current set up and what I should of bought...

Those Sr4's really do seem like value for money.


Hummmmmmm

Thanks wibs, I'm very very lucky to be able to store two small ribs, and the weather had been nice enough to get use of the Sr.

Even luckier was the drive home.....to find my sunglasses on the car!

Peter nice to see you again. Your SR was flying. Paul took a few shots so hopefully of good quality and he will post them. I not only found my glasses in the car but also my waterproof camera . Just forgot to take them. I was hoping to take some shots anyway there will always be another day.

Trevor got back as I saw him coming from the bridge on my way home

I also hope David had a safe journey back

It was a very good day out with very few people on the water.

NEVER BETTER was superb only still running in the engine so must take it easy

Just got a text from Dave - he got back OK - "big waves off Hengisbury" - apparently - well that must have been a surprise!

See you all out again soon.

Where did you go to? Was it very windy?

Looks like I missed a good day out.

To the Folly for lunch and back. It was choppy with some wind. Nothing significant but a different story when crossing in a wee rib. As I said earlier Peter was flying and my regret I did not have my camera on board.

Peter's "White Streak" is fantastic fun and very practical with the proper seating for 4. Sounds like Tigga the SR4 and I missed a good trip.

I WILL be out on 5 Jan for the nacho run. I'll be in Tigga if reasonable wind / sea state or hitching a lift in a bigger rib if blowing a hoolie (with a suitable donation towards fuel).

Really enjoyed the run. Thank you Andre.
The Parker 750RS, Wow....... What a boat and was also my first experience of a Verado, those engines are so quiet!
Really nice to get to Cowes and the Folly for the first time also.

Will get a few pics and vids posted once get my laptop.
