Im flying back to the UK Saturday Morning, so if the weather is good, i might take my inflatable with "Big Air Cooled" Honda from Calshot up to Ashletts Creek for a pint.
Ill probably be around Calshot with me "big lens" looking for some photogenic boats as well.

So who got out? Saw Mark in the Hunton, first going down the river then through the solent later on
Saw the quad-outboard cat from Driver's going into Town Quay and mamboking's E24 sat in Cowes.
We were off Gurnard all day with the Backdraft and jet-ski, got 61.3 mph on the BD at 6000rpm cos we're still having problems in the fuel system.
Who else was out there?
Max

MMMmnn. Seem to recal you taking a bit of a 'snipe' at me for behaving dangerously and foolishly, when passing close to a large cruiser at speed, ON MY OWN, and pointing out that it 'wasn't something you'd do'!
But now it seems that taking small children in a boat at 90mph is ok.
Have you ever had, or seen a boat lose a motor, or drive at those kind of speeds?......we had a cat lose a drive at the last poker run at about 70, the rest is history.
Double standards me thinks!
