Well first weekend of the season, as my other post today suggested did have a slight worry on the way to Cowes, but all ended well and the weather was just great... more like August that March! A little cool in the evening and first thing, but nothing to worry about witha fan heater!

So here are a few random shots, from last Thursday launch to the weekend...

Not a lot else to report, very busy on the Solent... a lot of peeps around. Chain Ferry at Cowes gone... I guess a service and lick of paint? Weather just great, on approaching Hamble River cardinal buoy hooligan in a SC35... I think called Moon Quay flashed passed, we were stand on but on the basis by this time he had already passed a yacht within yards and caused huge wake for them to deal with & he must have been doing 30knots+ busy chasing a mate in a boston whaler type open sports boat & he looked completely out of control I backed right off! complete arse IMO...certainly gives mobo's really bad name...

Clearly a cheeky moon quay Paul:D sorry, I'll get me coat as Mr Dunstable would say:o
 
Can't comment on him being a hooligan, but my F34 used to look badly trimmed just before it got n the plane too.... It used to ride so high friends could see the bow thruster :)
