Scillies for Lunch This Christmas

[jwalker]

Cool.

[gingercoastie]

Glad you all had a good trip.


I was with you in mind, and to not miss out totally went out to Falmouth Bay and did some man overboard excercises with the family. Just a little scary to find out what they would do if I fell out for real.

WOW What a brilliant day.

Many thanks for organizing the trip Roy I wouldn't have thought about going myself this time of the year.

The whole day from the Cornish coast,the dolphins,the Isles of Sillies, the food, and the company made for a special cruise.

When we got back to Penzance I said to Roy what a great way to end 2005 he answered.......................................... ......................It's not over yet!

Thanks for the offer of a place on both your boats, I went out on a friends work do on Friday lunch time and didn’t get in until 01:00 not a pretty site.

My Camera that got wet at the end of the video is fine - the one luke knocked of the pub table when we are having lunch is not

My new Navman F2100 claimed i used 97 litres - but when i refilled i could only get 82 litres in the tank.

I have yet to find out if this discrepancy is an inaccuracy in the Fuel flow meter or due to an air pocket in the under deck tank due to the boat being at a very slight nose down angle when i refilled.

You can download the track log from here http://www.riblog.co.uk/blog/uploads...esTrackLog.zip there is a Google Earth file and the Garmin Database file in the zip. Top speed for the day was 37 knots according to the track log.
