Will he join?
Met a chap on the Pontoon yesterday...... I got the impression that whatever he used to do with boats....well.... lets just say he can't talk about it...... He kindly offered to show me some 'tricks of the trade sometime..... the conversation went a bit like this (from 1.15 in) exchange 'go karts' for RIB and you get the idea..... 
I told him about the forum and suggested he come on here.....as there were lots of people who might benefit from his experiences /knowledge..... 
If he does come along, consider ita gift from me.....to all of you

all of the above sprung to mind.....but no 
Since his 'past' (which I MUST stress we dare not speak of here) he appeared to have gone for a slightly more sedate little Chinese built number, which he could "take anywhere you could take that".....
