Hey RWave ...you were the one going for the hardboats this weekend. Did you have fun with the Biblical Monster?
Apparently your mum was a brill hostess according to the RIBnetter we spoke to. Thanks for the accomodation offer. Much appreciated.
We had a great weekend. Despite Cookee's disappointment on Friday. Very good RIBnet gathering...Team Cookee of course,with Elaine, Sally and Howard, Mike Carroll, Antoinette and Martin, Ian Austin,Les, Mike B, Vicki and Matt and it was very nice to meet winners Rob and Roy who have become champions in their very patriotic boat ! We even met some Irish Powerboat Teams!!! Congrats to Matt who did a brill job navigating for Adam Y.
Cardiff is a great location
Racing could be seen from the ice-cream place, the coffee shop, the restaurant...even the hotel room!!!!
The 'Chocolate Fountain' was a big hit as were the musicians who were a bit 'Phoenix Nights'
We have a collection of photos and will try to post them soon.
Many thanks for the pit passes Cooks (you might have been ribless but you have a brill heart) and the Rescue Boat spin Ian Austin. (Sorry I wimped out
)
The weather was wild, the ski-boats were mad
and a certain RIBnetter is very taken with OCR
You Know Who You Are.
Oh and big thanks to Rogue Wave's Mum too

. But the racing went on and it was pretty spectacular in the inner basin
