I'm not joking on this occasion but yes i would go if it was a big boat or offshore lifeboat. Took ours through F9 off Padstow....I'm still here but must admit it was scary.

Csail - your views on the Red Arrows being taken over by the knitting department ?

 

[wotayottie]

Presumably we will now have one pink arrow. With nice curtains at the windows and a make up mirror in the cockpit. And the cockpit will be clean and sweet smelling

The problem will come if she gets PMT and the guns are loaded.

Yep, count me in

Oh no, I forgot.... cant get out through the lock at Portishead.

I'll take pictures. It won't be the same but better than nothing.

Actually there was a pink one when the spray job went wrong and they have two make up mirrors in each cockpit. The cockpits are very clean but not sweet smelling. don't worry about PMT.......they don't have guns!!!!!

Sorry I missed your post, sounds like it would have been fun as long as you stayed away from the M4! I may go for play tomorrow (Sunday). On the TV tonight they said Lands end had 100 mph gusts.
