Hi Roy,
I am coming West on Saturday to play with a mates SeaDoo jet boat. We hope to launch her at Mylor & see what the weather holds. You think you are going to get wet 
Cheers
Ian

Ive seen a SeaDoo Jet boat tearing up carrick roads a few times last summer - is it the same one (The one I have seen is black white and yellow).
I was going to leave it till Sunday to go out - but I have now checked the weather again this morning and Saturday now looks to be the better day.
What time will you be launching - I am heading off up the coast towards St Austell and on to Looe to meet up with Randski (Bob and Sue) for lunch - but i don't know if coastal touring is a SeaDoo's speciality - they have a very flat bottom which whilst gives them amazing top speed - I don't know if I would want to get caught out in an kind of a chop in one.

They'll have a lovely (wet) time Roy. The Seadoo Sportster has a twin jet rig, it'll be fine in a bit of sea. Might pay to shove the oilies on though.

Hah, you aint kidding! That could qualify as understatement of the year We will play it by ear & hope to see you out there.
Cheers

Avoid the A30 from exeter down , use the a38 via plymouth . The roadworks at oakhampton area are causing bad delays , 45mins today .

Roy my mate with the 4x4 has just injured his back , so I guess a rib ride is the last thing he will be wanting for a few weeks . I hope somebody comes up trumps for you .

The bloody weather is looking perfect for a north coast cruise on Saturday - but I have a wedding to go to 
I recommend everybody else go without me 
Sunday might also be OK - but I know most of my crew wont be able to make it - so ill end up footing the entire fuel bill myself 
The long range forecast for the remainder of the Easter holiday and the following week looks very miserable.

Hey Roy,
Weather's looking good tomorrow. We're going to launch from Newquay Harbour in the morning. If you fancy a blast on the North Coast I'll be there to help with launching/recovering.
Anyone else about...Alice, Kernow, Shaggy?

OK - wakeboarding cancelled.
Most of the crew (if not all of it have bailed out) so it will probably be just me and the kids.
Ian Parks - If you wanted to tag along on Voyager - I have plenty of room. (In fact that applies to any one who fancies the trip - I could do with some crew to share the fuel costs)
Bob/Sue - 10am as per tel phone call.

Bob - did the harbour master mention that sometimes he doesn't allow you to launch if there is a big swell.
I have just checked here http://magicseaweed.com/Newquay-Fistral-Surf-Report/1/ and there is 7ft swell forecast for tomorrow.
It wont effect us at all when were out but may mean launching is prohibited.

Going over there anyway if we can't launch

What a Day - Best one so far I think.
The north coast of Cornwall is quite simply breathtaking.
Check out the photos here.
