Has anyone used Ribtube in Darmouth?

The owner is a Ed Carter I think.

I'd like to contact him.

Regards,

David

Yep Ribraff is his handle on here, but his PM box is often full. There is a mobile number on his website which normally gets him. Failing that I should be seeing him over the next couple of days, so I'll mention to him to have a look on here.

Were you out today Nasher around Dartmouth area? Spotted (from a distance) a RIB just like yours?

Yep, been running out of Dartmouth for the last few days, you sould have come and said hello.

Had cracking weather so far this week, but I think it's starting to tail off now.
My Brother and his kids are holidaying at our house near Portsmouth whilst we're down here and have said the Solent is awash with boats, where as Start Bay is empty with hardly any boats and nobody on the beaches except the really horrible commercial ones.

Won't be out in the RIB today, am taking a rest to save some fuel

Nasher.

Hi Nasher. Been out almost everyday this week also. Spotted you again yesterday. Are you with a small red RIB as well? Yep I should have come over to say hello but was anchored off and swimming both times I spotted you! Oh well next time maybe. Enjoy the rest of the weather as I thinks its breaking soon.

My Yellow 6.5 Ocean is a little overrun by Red Ribs etc.
In our group we also have a Orange/Red 5.4 Searider (Davybuoy on here), a Red 5M humber belonging to a non ribnet friend, and my two teenage lads Red Aerotec 380.

The aerotec gets transported round to Beesands rolled up in the Ocean where I blow it up with the electric pump and drop the Suzuki 9.9 on the back. They are both lashed down to the deck of the Ocean using the Anchor points I've added over the winter. Last year they bounced about all over the place without the anchor points.
This system works really well as the lads ferry us to and from the beach and run round with their friends all day on @ 12l of fuel.

We are probably doing Beesands today, but will take the Aerotec round on the roof of the car.

Please come and say hello if youy see us.

Ended up having a couple of days rest for various reasons, but have been having fun in the Aerotec.

Should be off Beesands by Sunday lunchtime having run round from Dartmouth late morning.
