My Leak in Cushendall tells me that there is a new top secret Triple Outboard project underway that is going to break all previous fuel economy records...

No, if you look VERY carefully, you'll see that the portside unit is Counter-rotating

The question is Willk, will they let us test her out to Rathlin next month - or even back to Islay?? We would certainly let them throw some jurnos on with us.

Lo! And in the Third Season he shall arise and post upon RIBnet and there shall be rejoicing amongst the people, who thought that he was Lost!

How's about ye Mucker?

Dunno, these things are in the hands of donegaldan, who HAS a RIB (as he keeps reminding me). Certainly I will be offering my services as crew so fingers crossed. We missed you in Dunlaoghaire in July and were heavily outnumbered by the Sassanagh, although we held our own. Anyway, I'll let you know what we're doing closer to the time.

I had a nosy around her yesterday and took a few uncluttered photos...

...uncluttered by any unsecured fittings, kit or loose change that may have been there when I arrived

She's looking very well, I guess she'll be away soon to begin her demo work around the various ports, given the interest there is in her. She'll be at Seawork next year, so have a gander at her then.

The locker. Those buoys are about 3 feet long. Note the ladder - the only way out if you fall in
