Great Motoboat Raft Up

How are your engines?

We seem to be making progress.. progress is much quicker when the techs are made to stop jumping to all the wrong conclusions and consider rarer but more simple causes! When sorted I may post a thread that could be useful for others.

That kind of thread is always interesting!

Positively +1. Even more so considering that my engines are based on the very same block as those of markc, though the MTU marinization is different from MAN in more ways than one, afaik.

It was a delight to meet all the attendees.

Don’t go to Ibiza then! They were are every bay we stopped in. Very big ( double normal size ) and at one point in the under water lights we counted 14 in view.

Girlfriend got stung.

Mallorca seems ok so far. We had a child stung in diea but there were no visible jellies so I think he was just unlucky. My daughter can spot them at 50 meters

Marc. What up with you engines ?

Yup Medusa zero all season thus far on the Cote d Azur .
Water temp currently 28 and rising .
Air temp yesterday was 34 as well - bit hot if zero breeze !

Well a good time was had by all it seems. Forumites Bouba, Portofino, MarkNL and myself dropped our respective hooks between the Lerins, drank wine, ate food and talked bollox about boats and everything else. Three of our canine friends came along too, drank water, stole food, barked at each other and lifted their legs

Bouba brought along this strange contraption which MarkNL's son and daughter took to immediately. Can't help feeling it needed a 200hp outboard myself. Bouba's lovely ST34 behind

No sign of jfm and his 16.30 flypast although by then the wine and sun had taken its toll

Fashionably late... but this is a big thanks from the dutch dog Bobbie, his boss Mark and 2 kids to a great host - a great afternoon on a wonderful italian mother ship.
