We just confirmed a deal today, and now have a new Powerboat for the school!

Chuffed to bits!

Some of you may have seen it, it was featured in Motorboat Monthly as it shadowed the Cruising Association last year.

Isn't it a nice feeling when a plan comes together?

Well hello Mr Jones, I had no idea that you frequented this particular internet forum, you may remember me by the boats name, Gulf Coast One, although you may remember my good lady better, she had the benefit of your tuition and hasn't looked back since.

Nice boat by the way, it shows that business is going well if nothing else. But I don't think I shall let Alison attend a course for anything that powerful. Don't think a woman is really up to making the speedy decisions needed.
Regards
Roy
 
My dear good man Roy!

I remember Alison, she was good...........................real good!

I see your sense of humour hasn't failed you old chap /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif ( I do like the little smileys here ) and how is your good lady keeping these days, Tina, if I remember correctly. A very sexy mover and an equally excellent instructor, at least she was while you were with Alison /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
 
She looks very fine, and is well equipped with all the bells and whistles (almost - have seen superyacht tender RHIBs that would put yours to shame), and an excellent engine - my pal's Kayak Kat here has two 115 hp Yamahas on the back, and they have been working hard almost every day for the past few years, no worries.

Al, are you that proudly grinning gold toothed rat at the helm in the photo above? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Re Kim's Bavaria 30, I went on the 30 at SBS last year, and thought she was very nice - excellent ergonomics, well laid out and while not built like the proverbial brick outhouse, she appeared to be well constructed.

Nice to hear your friend has two! Nice to hear mine isn't as good as a super yachts!

I'm off now to our yachts on the south coast!

Al & Tina.
 
She goes in the water 1230hrs tomorrow, and I should get some hours in this weekend at Heybridge Basin, well thats a few hours either side of high tide.

Looking forward to it!!

A happy Al. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Is there really no one to share in my joy? /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Solidarity?

Ah well, just me then, anyone going to be on the Blackwater this weekend?
