Needles cruise 31/05

Andy Stevens · 31 May 2005, 18:40

Due to the fact that most poors sods have to work, there was only one boat on the first needles cruise. I must say it was lovely, bit rough against the tide the way there but super on the way back! Flat out all the way, we were back inside of 45mins averaging 35.8 knots and hitting for most of it 45kn!

Even my dog enjoyed it!

Take that TV off your new boat and you would!

Oh I think there is going to be a race here. In the red corner the Tohatsu and in the white corner the solent. Ladies and Gentlemen place your bets now.

I have age and INexperience on my side, I'm too stupid to know better!

Plus when Paul gets peppered by paintballs, he'll bottle it

The fine weather is going to your heads.

And there will be no paintballs splattered anywhere near those light grey toobs. No siree

(P.S. Andy I beat your co-pilot the other night all by meself

)

AAAAHhhhh but Stu weighs in at 26 Stone! Whereas I'm much lighter

And Andy has a secret yet to be exploited, a change of prop to 20/21" would see a few extra precious knots from the Tohatsu.
