Hi folks, belated Happy this that and the other.....

Attached are a few photos taken during our "New Year Cruise".

It was good to see some new faces along with some old ones (Ian looks older than he actually is) LOL

Fred & Jane from Wilmslow. Although they profess to have a Med 1 as mine - we've yet to see it....there's a gauntlet F&J, see you in the spring with some real wet weather gear this time !!

It would appear, following extensive research by Ian that yes, Phil does actually talk through his arse.....

and following a choppy trip back to base, Phil is keen to get aboard a decent RIB.

MeMe · 07 January 2004, 11:22

a position this Searider has become used too.........Jono and Amy.

MeMe · 07 January 2004, 11:30

Following a few quick calls we cobbled together a new years eve cruise up the manai straites. MeMe & Ian, Jono & Amy along with Phil and Tim.

Here's one of Ian in MeMe......I wonder if he'll recall all these trips and helms when he gets his big'n with twin 250's on the tail and I'm after a blast ?

MeMe · 07 January 2004, 11:32

waste fuel......I don't know, kids today !

MeMe · 07 January 2004, 11:35

however, have I not seen that man before......Star Wars springs to mind ?

"what's that MeMe, I can't hear you over the noise of your super powerful 70hp 2 stroke Yamaha which sits on the back of your proper rib as I'm just so used to the pathetic noise emitted from my feeble 30hp Honda, you know the one, the one that never fails to start on the 10th attempt"

Ian · 07 January 2004, 12:54

Happy New Year MeMe, I'm delighted to see, as a belated Xmas present, you have offered to buy me a second 250hp Suzi 4 stroke. This is most generous of you and deserves a ride on the rib when it arrives.

Nice photo's and at least Fred and Jane are smiling!

Nice photos ME ME you all are a very brave lot!!

MeMe · 07 January 2004, 14:11

not as brave as some. I recall seeing a thread with people Ribbing with snow on the console ! That said, it wouldn't put us Northern Ribsters off.

Manos · 07 January 2004, 14:52

No MEME with all due respect YOUu are brave THEY are MAAAAAAAAD!!

That photo was from Janis Petrov if I remember correctly!!

See I told you, he's forgotten already, take note how he says "a ride" and not "take the helm"..........

My first attempt at posting a photo so bear with me! If it comes out this is one of the gang at Caernarfon on route to the pub. whoops, looks like I got the pixel count wrong

Hi all
nice pic's from the cruise im sorry i missed it all the best for the new year everyone and hope to see you on the water soon
Phill
i think on your photo the two in the middle had already been to the pub

OK, I've resized it to the correct pixel width and height, but still not sure whether resolution is right. Here goes.....

Reduced to the role of rear jockey seat on a 4m Searider, Ian contemplates whether life without his own RIB can get any worse
