A Forumites boat!
Motala seems to being used as a support boat for a Ladies relay cross channel swim, practise to IOW.

Good on you Dave.

Cheers

Al.

This raises a very serious question -






WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WATCHING THIS MORNING?

 

[Alistairr]

I ain't!!!

SWMBO is so cued up in the world of boating she instantly recognised it! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
And phoned to tell me!
Was on about 5mins ago.

And another forumite Tim Griffin (Timg) so my missus just rang me to say !

 

[Alistairr]

Yes, i don't think it was David that was on the Show, my SWMBO did mention Tims name as well.

Cheers

Al.

Ok I will put my hands up! I skippered Motala for the Ladies X Channel swim practice.

They swam in a relay from the Southsea monument to Ryde just west of the pier; an hour each. The ladies were very cold and quite brave, we crossed two shipping channels but had the co operation of Southampton VTS and QHM. We also negotiated a sunsail race. Tim Griffin had a TV crew on his RIB and I skippered Motala with a second TV crew and the ladies doing the swim.

Weather was kind and it was a long but fun day.

Ah, that's on old picture when we moving her from one berth to an other. We don't go around with the "washing out" /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif unless we are training.

Did anybody video it??????

 

[peterb26]

Now thats what you call a proper gentlemans boat.

They will pretty much go through anything you throw at them. Brilliant marina manners, built like a brick outhouse and will last forever.

I loved mine nearly as much as SWMBO......

So are you guys going to be involved with the cross channel attempt, or is too far away?

Well done,

Cheers
