no more a member of the sub 5m club

after much debate i sold my valiant DR450 today to a rag and stick club in greenwich as a rescue boat

after bethanys dip in the thames and my broken leg i just could not get back into it

wayne temped me with food but its was not to be so the last trip was the clacton air show which i missed most of but thats a other story

its been fun with sub 5m storys from each weekends trip around the coast
have rib will travel and we did with lots of days out

never did get around the IOW with Biggles This Year

i may be back some time but not for a year or so

thanks to all my friends i have met

and if any one wants a sack of ballast i am free most week ends

just to cheer my self up i have a new company car to pick up next week

and the best pics ever

Sorry to hear you've sold Dan but understand your reason.

You and your family would be welcome on Blue Ice any time - we'll get you round the Isle of Wight!

Dan, you'll always be a member of the sub 5's I'm sure!

Yes, get yourself down here sometime!

Good set of photos there.

danCrikey, it only seems like yesterday that you bought the Valiant.

It's like the end of an era - the little RIB with the big presence.

We've followed the adventires of the sub-fivers and enjoyed every minute with you - even though we're not eligible to join .

So, what's next?


will have to see
