.. said with such style..... carefull you dont spill the G&T now Was quite funny, about 4 years ago, I went out to watch the start of Cowes to Torquay, was blowing like hell, me and a mate, pootling around off Cowes, rolling around in some quite big waves, drinking coffee, the race boats came out of Cowes, roared around a bit, decided it was too rough, went back in, delayed start one hour, so we went into Cowes loafed about and then went back out, half the race boats never even untied from the pontoon...big bunch of girls.

And getting in the way of the raceboats again? 
yes me may have got on the cousre accidently last year.... the marshalls seem to do a lot of shouting and not a lot of organising!we promise to be good this year
it ooks like we are an officail press boat again!
you would be amazed the way people should and yell at you in a flash boat... its just like the way no one ever lets you pull out in a porsche.. very sad!
Kim has obviously been taking lessons from the Italians in how to moor up.

Endurance race was great fun...............until several days later, where the stairs at home became a problem to come down!!!!!!!!!!.
10 Laps around a few of the buoys for the P1, approx 2 Miles/lap.
Best fun was on the Sunday racing against a Thundercat around a course, great fun.
The whole weekend with the P1's and other boats was fantastic, to see and be part of...........especially the charter boat moored up in Cowes Marina with the not too shy lady!!!!
Ski in pic was an XP DI..............now on a RXP with a few slight mods!!
