You can take solace in that you have such a fantastic area in which to use your new RIB.

There are just so many great places to visit. I am really envious.

Dockside we are £1.00 for petrol, but the garage is 84.7p so the trailer is worth it!!

There is no way I would pay marina type prices - I would rather wrench my arms out of their sockets with jerry cans!!!

Hell of a tide in Guernsey as well - when I filled up at that pontoon the tide was right out - must have been a 40' climb up the steps covered in seaweed and no hand rail on the outside edge. Amazing how long the hoses are.

Very friendly staff there - a great help. Even took my company's credit card for fuel over the phone!!!

So quick get your tanker sorted out.

Just remember petrol vapor is more dangerous than petrol so just fill that “tanker” before you drive off.
