The plan is that I will run the show and I have a number of guys/girls who will be coxing the boat for me.
The trips will be out to the Goodwin Sands to visit the seals that live there, bay and beaches of the Thanet coast line and the powerboat experience trip.
On top of this we will be cattering for commercail charte and other trips tailor made to suit the customers needs.

I also have people inc me that will be manning the "Utterly Butterly" office on wheels!

Whilst all that is going on I will continue to be working hard for Standard Horizon/Vertex Standard/Yaesu.

Here Simon, whilst we all like a laugh that is a tad below the belt.
As those in the know, know there was a very very good reason!

At least some have a legit excuse for being a light-weight whilst others...........well!!!!!

Enough said back to the banter!

No harm meant by my comment, as did not even think about it until someone called me this morning to remind me. I can only apologise.

Any way whats this about you being a love machine !!!

Simon takes a big man to admit when he has dropped a big clanger

We I can only wish I was!!!

But I have been known to be seen doing a very good impression of the dance to the song "I'm just a love machine" by Girls Aloud but only seems to happens when I have had a few "fire waters" so don't expect to see it very often!

Hi all

Just some updates.
Here are pix of the A Frame in place and also the benches.

The A Frame has been changed to ensure the two VHF Antenna's will be above the radar dome, when fitted.

[Biggles]

Looks like some quality steel work going in there.

They do a full grab rail but I felt it hampered access to the bow.
After some joined up thinking Ribcraft are having one specially made that is fitted to the liferaft cage, which is not in view as yet.

Good because I have seen some boats with similar seating that has nothing for the front row of passengers to hang onto - and if anyone needs them it's the people at the bow!!!

Can't wait for more updates on Jon's

UTTERLY BUTTERLY Boat.

[Jon Brooks]
