Can I be as bold to invite my 8 yo Son Ryan along as the last crew member. He's well experienced with fast RIBs so will be OK for a bit of wave jumping. However if either another member wants the seat or the weathers really bad then he won't be coming.

Looking forward to it.

Have arranged car sharing with Blackroady (pick up from his home at 9.45) and have also offered to 250kts but have yet to hear back from him. Hopefully, later this evening....

Thankyou !

A big thankyou to Andre for a fantastic day out , and Avocet for the pick up / drop off from the door of my house.

A very very decent boat to take numbers of people out in and at some speed ! Despite a calm solent the few waves that were found off the back of a big cargo container managed to get the full weight of Solentblast out of the water - with only a small amount coming back over in a fine spray to remind us of the speed !

Thanks again to Andre & everyone for a great day out .

Pete

Wow - what a cracking day out - thank you so much Andre - all three of us including the Knot Yet monster enjoyed it very much.

As for the rest of you ...... could'nt have wanted to meet a nicer bunch of people

Thanks to you all and Andre - our first intro to the wonders of Ribnet gatherings has been totally exceeded

Take care

Thanks to all

The fair weather gods smiled on Ribnet once again and ensured a great day out for all of us.

Some larger waves would have shown off a brilliant boat even better, but the one wall of fine spray was enough to ensure that we kept awake!

It was good to see old faces and meet new ones and especial thanks again to Andre for arranging and organising the day.
