Sorry we missed you Paul!

Did a recce to Priory then met Whiteshoes, Sophie and Jason

for lunch at Cowes..met Brambles briefly and were delighted to meet Tim Griffin and Simon Hawkins in the middle of a busy day! Lovely...civilised long lunch !

Then off to Alum for a snooze...

And to a special location in the east where Carly lit the BBQ on a beach and we swam and had excellent tucker and drinks...leaving only just before sundown..an evening to remember...

Oh and some yachts were going sloooowly round the island!!!

Excellent day...excellent peeps

Looking forward to tomorrow. Tim G says it will be hot!!!

Hi, If you saw bonza 1 (orange avon) it must have been me (Stuart) - I bought it from that nice ray chap in August last year. It does have an A frame on the back now though.

Being a newcomer to all this rib.net thingy is there anywhere where you can see images of who has what rib? (Or am I being thick - wouldn't be the first time!)

Most peeps have details in their profile but Slimtim started a visual collection!

'Let's see ya boat then' is helpful! http://www.rib.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8011

The Gallery generally has loads more including new boat introductions so away you go!!!!

go on Stuart on tell them all what Bonza ! is now called !!

Sorry for the delay.....(just getting used to this ribnetting thing..)

It's now called.... Jaffa ! (Orange and Black - get it?) - If you think that's a silly name then I must say it's not my idea....On the other hand if you like it....then it was

Anyway... being new to this rib net thing, am I correct in the assumption that there is a monthly meet at a local pub - It would be nice to meet fellow rib owners, rather than looking at other ribs and wondering whose who.

I already know rogue wave (top man) and Ray Bradman (another nice chap)

Bonza and Ray just over a year ago in Ozzy Bay.

I have seen you and Bonza/Jaffa on the Hamble a few times.
I will wave next time

Stuart M · 06 July 2005, 22:00

I'll look out for you, what colour is your rib?

robin · 06 July 2005, 22:08

If I am in my own boat it is an all yellow Ribcraft 585
If not then I will be in the Yellow jet boat that operates out of Mercury Yacht haven.

Stuart M · 06 July 2005, 23:14

Ok - I think I have seen you about.

Piccy of Jaffa now (well last sept)

Has more instruments fitted now.
