Yellowjet taxi's
This has just been on our TV regional news, they are operating around Plymouth from April and aim to provide a taxi service rather than a ferry service ( bit like in Aus?) the Ribs are also being marketed for sale.

Good for you!!!

My tubes still look like new - managed to get the right adapter at last - ordered it off IBS - all of about £2.50. Only needed about 15 pumps of air into each chamber - not bad considering it must have vented off a lot in the heat back in July.

Water taxi businesses tend to struggle a bit down here. A few have tried and none have come to much. I wouldn't envy the driver of that yellow thing in a bit of sea. Some protection up forward wouldn't go a miss.
