Live from Ribex

Hello all

Well its hot and sunny here and it great to see so many "famous" faces!

The show was opened a short while ago by that top man Mr John Cook.

Bumped into a few of the Ribnet crew already.
Andre, Riva, Mr Boat Care, Solent Ranger.

Hope to see a few more over the weekend

Regards

Jon you are indeed the Kate Adie of Cowes!!!!

That certainly was hot off the presses!!!!

He's showing Florence and Philippe around who came all the way from Brittany this morning!!!

So please be friendly and welcoming to them any of you who are 'live' over there!
(They will then join us later for our planning session for the RIBnet summer cruise to Southern Brittany.)

Keep the reports coming JB!!!

Day Two nearly Lunchtime

Well the sun is still shining (on and off)

Saw Paul as he came in today.

My number one stalker is here today too (Jimbo)

I have just had a really nice chat with Brit and Dave Manning (wot top people they are)

Went for a blat out with the guy's from Ribcraft last night.
Took the 585 out,
First time in one of those for me.
All I can say is awesome and good can they drink

If you get on the Ribcraft stand see if you can spot Rod Stewart Jnr!!

Bumped into Kitten today good to see him again.

Good to see so many schools here as well, Mr Mendez, Mr Gatzel, sorry if I missed any of the others

Well that's the latest from your on the spot reporter!!

Regards
