BBC South on the water

If anyone saw BBC South tonight they had a reporter/crew on the water filming in connection with the Bournemouth surf reef. Interestingly we were approached to supply a RIB through another operator and I asked 250knots if he was available.

Unfortunately the BBC took a fishing boat to save money and I must say it looked like a lively rolling session to camera!

Whats the saying "you get what you pay for".

Whilst we would have done this, the money that Tim thinks would have been offered, would have meant us refusing. As an aside, our first trip out on the Bike Night specials from the Quay, brought in more income in one hour, than the 3 hours, the BBC would have paid for!

Would have liked to have seen the footage though
