It's only a 3½ hour passage from Guernsey to Weymouth in good weather!

EXACTLY - that's how long the boat trip took.

Stunning weather but couldn't believe how cold the wind gets - furthest I have been in an open boat at speed - ended up wearing my ski mask and ski goggles!!!

Boat and engine were great - performed perfectly.

a: You are NOT a Yank
b. Give me a Yank over a Yorkshire man any day
c. You may get used to my humor one day

There we are - even used some Yank spelling to appease our mates over the pond!!!
