Brilliant, would be great to say hi, I can even show you the revenger if you like?
I'll have to get back to you on the start time, why not come along with us? I'm sure I can find you room on one of the bigger boats?
Cheers, James

Hi James,
Thanks for the offer, I will be on the island for a long weekend for my Wifes Birthday, but thought I might be able to watch some boats if the weather is good. Not sure about the size of my window of opportunity on the Sunday so am reluctant to commit to any plans now so I dont let anyone down.
If you can get back to me with some details of the event, that would be great.
Thanks, Jon.

The poker run is heading out from Fermain Bay. This would be ideal to watch from the Fermain Bay Beach Cafe whilst having lunch. Don't let the name put you off, it's a full restaurant on the edge of the beach, which I believe has been awarded as the 2nd best food from a beach Cafe in the world, second only to a place in Miami.
Have a look at this Guy's pics of the cafe and the bay.

Yeah, well.
The 'round the island' bit was cancelled due to bad wather, but a small group of us went to herm instead...
Ship to shore transport was a bit tight. Still had a great laugh though and Steve (the one in red) even won £4 in the poker draw!!
I was gonna post a report on OSO but didn't want to belittle their efforts stateside

I saw a couple of interesting boats during the weekend:
Clockwork Orange - In a field on Sark
67 Revenger RIB - by the boating lake in St. Peter Port
Any Info?

Ahh yes. John Guille on here could answer questions about clockwork orange, though I believe it's for sale.
The revenger 'blue dart' rib belongs to Jon Rowe on our committee and is also for sale. I'd love it, but can't be spending that kinda money on another revenger hull at the moment! If anyone's interested I can relay any information and/or a price.
Did you have a good holiday while you were over?
Cheers, James

Yes thanks,
Its been 8 years since I was last in Guernsey so it was nice to visit again. We watched the sand racing on saturday afternoon, one guy was racing a fireblade and another a GSXR!! That was amazing to watch.
When did the eastern europeans move on to the islands? I ordered a Hawaiian Pizza at a cafe and was given a "White wine spritzer"! WTF.
The Islands are very pretty and a great way to get away from it all.

Ha ha ha, yeah we seem inandated with them at the moment, don't get me started on that! It's amusing when you get girly booze instead of a pizza, less so when you're girlfriend's about to have an emergency c section and the nurse can't understand you!
I love the sand racing, don't think you'd see that selection of bikes on the beach anywhere else eh!
Glad you had a good time,
James
