Rough water training with Neil Holmes

[John Kennett]

Well that was the plan, but we didn't really pick the best day for it as the weather was absolutely lovely out there today!

Last time I spent the whole session going round the buoys in southampton water, but not being the type to be put off by a bit of sunshine we set of into the teeth of a howling force 2 gale to see how I coped down at the Needles.

The Phantom Evo will do over 80 mph, but a steady 65ish "cruising speed" was plenty for me today. It's amazing how quickly you get to the stage where 50 feels a bit slow though.

Thanks Neil for another enjoyable and educational run out. My trousers have dried out now - hope yours have too!

The decals on that new HO look very nice, much better than the garish flag on mine

Seeing it in a "real" photo for the first time really tempts me to try and negociate to be able to swap mine over!

Bedajim has a smart cowl cover which came from Aus. But then, you'd know that.

Bah - I would take an E-tec with any sort of flag at the moment (except for a certain blue and white one)

Not with you on board, obviously!
