Well almost off to bed....

We have had a 10 euro donation from a dude in Portugal with a message to say....

"Followed your amazing job restoring the RIB from afar (Portugal) just lurking on ribnet. You did great but the human feat is a far greater achievement than the sum raised.Thank you for the inspiration"

Nice one Portuguese Dude

Thanks for all your kind words, but lets not get too soppy

I've spoken to the new owner and he is delighted with his purchase, he is moving from a jetski to the RIB 4 Macmillan

He bought the MacRIB because he was so impressed with the work and that it came with all the accessories and a training course!

He his not a member of RIBnet as yet

I'm sure you will all be very pleased to know that so far the RIB 4 Macmillan project has raised £19,533.46

We have some more money to bank so I'll update the total once banked into Justgiving

An excellent project that I'm sure will break £20k once we have done the boat jumble in a few weeks...

Bananas all round I reckon

The only thing I am worried about is how knackered the MacRIB Boat Show Team is after the show and if they are having a downer now the project has finished.

Everyone has been awesome, everything went to plan almost to the penny.

This project was donated by you lot here on RIBnet, you made it happen, it's you lot that are awesome!

Don't forget, we are changing lives as I type this. The low level of bucket donations from the show proves how great you lot are.

We just need to chill, get back to work and then sort out the little things a bit later.

And then have a get together soon

Look what we all did!!!

People who were there loads may be knackered. I was only there one day and I'm a bit knackered, it was a long day!
Don't see why anyone should be on a downer though!
