I like the look of that console, any chance of some more photos, looking for ideas for when I have an upgrade in the next few months...

Looks, (from a distance) like the consoles that were fitted to the McLachan class life/boarding boats back in the 70s?/80s

Have a good day tomorrow, wish I was out aswell.

Turned left instead of right

Hi , Got out in the Thames around 10:00 am we were just heading to london when we heard a call from a yacht taking on water by red sand towers so we nipped over to help out , as it was, it was not serious but we lost the good part of the day, ended up going to whitstable and then back up the thames to the swale estuary then back to the medway. I was gutted as we had planned this trip for quite a while. One good thing though my wife really enjoyed the day which means its going to be a lot easier to go and play each weekend from now on........that is until we catch the weather again!
I guess you guys are out most weekends ?

let me know

trust you all had a good day ...........Ps the rnli hemsman in your picture was emmon french from sheerness !
