So after a rather more protracted and very much more expensive spell on the hard than expected (bloomin outdrives, never again....!), Tariquet went back at Trafalgar Wharf on Friday. Weather forecast Saturday was just too good to pass up so we took a run to Cowes for lunch.

Ready and waiting for us

After a slow lunch in The Fountain and a walk around Cowes we returned to an empty Solent.

Still have a quite a long list of small things to attend to before the season proper, but was really good to be out on the water, and did she fly with a clean bum and props.. 28 knots at a relaxed 3200 rpm with another 700 to go :D Roll on the sunshine.
