Mr B\'s 3rd ETA at Brighton

Chrispy, Mr B and a couple of mates, together with Suzanne to keep them under control, left Teddington at 4.30 yesterday afternoon to bring a boat roun to Brighton.

Mr B's first ETA in Brighton was 6am this morning. Called in later in evening yesterday to say it's been revised to 12 noon. Just heard that they're 10 miles off Royal Sovereign and the latest ETA is 3pm. At this rate they'll be lucky if they get here for the May Bank Holiday.

PS ...up to know I've always been able to rely on Mr B's ETA. It's usually 3 minutes after he's started. Things must be looking up!

They can't use that as an excuse this time, they're taking the helm and shifts and coming round in one hit. Think the boat's not as fast as the guy thought it was,

Surprised!

After what you did to his davit and tee shirt I'm not surprised the ETA keeps getting later, only surprise is that he'll arrive at all!!!

3 minutes eh, probably 2 minutes more than SWMBO! <G>

Has he arrived yet? Shall I call the coastguard?

Depends which engines Colin, but normal is 2X200hp. So should cruise around 20-22 knots. Unless big sea on the nose. Then maybe 8-10 Knots feels better.

No one can force me to come here-----------

Sorry, it's a Princess 41 - couldn't get it above 9 knots. Mind you, there were 5 or 6 fat gits on board
