Needles today (sat)??
Was anyone on here off the needles/alum bay today at about 4:30, just before sunset? I saw 3 ribs from the top of the warren and it looked like Merlin (possibly), another boat I couldn't indentify and maybe a blue scorpion?

Just curious, looked real nice out there!

Yes,twas Blue Ice,didnt recognise the other two RIB,s but ran alongside them for a while.
It was a superbly flat day for Ribbing although a bit bumpy around the needles.
