Just taken delivery of a 5.5 metre Humber Destroyer RIB. Okay, she's ten year old but looking at the tubes, hull, floor and console you'd be hard pressed to see that. 70 horse Suzuki on the back should give me some speed. Can't wait for the weekend after next when I try her out for the first time.

Tom gets to be the first 'guest' helm.

Please sir, can I go second??:)
 
Well, al least it will bounce off whatever it hits. 'Spose you will be playing in the Swellies rips then? Make sure you have your kill cord connected!

And Don't forget the 5mph limits.





Who's paying for the fuel then?
 
Does it look like this?

I think I need to get myself a one of them. 9hp diesel assisted by rags flapping about on a stick doesn't seem to cut the mustard for me. The RIB looks to be a lot more difficult to get killed in as well.

If both of you sit back to back, then the one nearest the front is in front of the one nearest the back; unless you are going backwards, in which case the one nearest the back is in front of the one nearest the front, and unless you are going sideways, in which case neither of you is behind the other and you are both equally in front or behind, depending on your point of view. If you are stationary then the whole concept of in front or behind is rendered meaningless.

Obviously.

Academic really. Neither of us has clue whether we are coming or going, most of the time.


Rum Pirate you are getting closer. The colour is right but it is a Destroyer, not an Atlantis and only has one engine.
 
This is excellent news. Before going out, just make sure that you are equipped with the following:

- Ghetto Blaster with bass boost, to serenade your fellow boaters
- Several rolls of fat at neck level
- Number One crop
- Tattos (various)
- Wetsuit, rolled down to waist level, accompanied by
- Man boobs

Just before you set off, neck a couple of largactyl and a bottle of Buckfast Wine and you'll be hot to trot.

Seriously, it sounds great: have fun!
