£8! - Thats shocking. We often slip at haslar and pop in for a pint or two if we are waiting for the tide to rise. Usually they dont collect though unless we leave it on a finger mooring overnight. Did they come to you Carl or did you radio in?

they were ready and waiting for me,ive never called in if im just going to the lightship

That makes it a feckin expensive pint then! Usually get that treatment at cowes but not haslar!

I blame it on the economic downturn.

What is footloose btw? Tremlet?

I completed the engine fit and on initial run up with a ropey old prop it achieved 50 MPH on a short squirt up the river. Almost didnt sell it as it looked quite promising but I couldnt afford the time to do the finishing off.
Good to see it out on the water.
