Yes - that was Dougie's group. Big Yellow = Hot Lemon V (not the Hot Lemon race boat), Grey and White were Dougie in Arriba and Ocean Devil.
Us smaller ones were too small to notice!

I've always fancied joining the Easdale but the last few years I've been in Cornwall for dive fest.... This year I'm here and it's another weekend. Lol.
I think the marlin was the 3rd boat to go past, The first was a rib tec.
My boat usually shifts but 6 divers and 6 twinsets I was doing about 26mph.
Yeah weather looks pants tomorrow. I think a quick blast to the Breda

Totally. Fabulous day yesterday, spent afternoon cleaning the tubes etc , put the boat in on this mornings high tide. Miserable, that thin horizontal rain that soaks in minutes. Couldn't see a thing. Had a quick look through Cuan sound, couldn't even see Easdale. Turned tale, stuck the boat on the mooring and headed home for bacon butties and a large mug of tea
