Started "Stingray", just pootling to fuel birth(seems a regular occurence!) when a call from the Coastguard asking for assistance looking for a little boy in a rubber dinghy who was last seen being blown out to sea!

"Right" says I, replies on the VHF detailing our location (just leaving Largs Marina) and capability (30+kts) and received directions to head down to Fairley at full speed. "Great" says I, leaves the marina(no wash policy adhered to) opens the throttle quickly up on the plane and off we go!

Anyway, kiddy was found safe and sound and presumably given a severe b*llocking by Lifeboat, parents etc.

My mistake was of course forgetting that wifey was down below being thrown around as yours truly was "doing his bit" - She was not amused!

Anyroad up, what does SWMBO mean?

Nope, she's not called Marina.

However, if you check out the bio of Troy Tempest, he was also having a thing with "Atlanta Shore".
