There's a really good bistro/winebar right by the inshore leg turnbouy, get there early and you can grab a seat on the wall, enjoy a few cold beers and an excellent lunch!!!

Do you mean "The Waterfront"? Pink or Peach coloured, can't remember which. If so, the food had gone right downhill last time we visited.

Two grand! Mat?? Holy Sh*t!

You want to get a rib mate!!! We will use about £200 of fuel for our round trip

And we can go at 46 knts
And we can go out in a Force 8
And we have got built in fenders for berthing
And we have all got bad backs
And shares in Musto

Have I missed anything?? Hope you enjoy the weekend!

Whilst spectating, try not to get this close though - having to hide the camera extremely quickly to stay dry with a white thing bombing past at 100+mph is certainly different
