I have a message for you from Dave G..."Went aboard the QE2 yesterday in Bridgetown, Barbados. As it happens they are looking for an upgrade on their engines to cope with the new cruising programme. Thought one of the mills would suit your jamjar, to enable you to keep up next season!! Heavy oil only costs a few pence a gallon so this will offset the cost of a couple of pairs of props next year!!

[Dave_Snelson]

Nice one Col - did you know that the photographers boat was in front of you, or was it just coincidence?

BTW, I'm with Pauline on the matter of looks for the QMII. Is it as ugly in real life??
