That's not a bad price to tie a crane up for an hour!

What are you going to do about your trailer now you know the boat's too heavy for it?

I sold it 4 weeks ago, infact week after I got

thought I'd stick it on EBAY to see what it went for, I paid £1700 for it, sold it for £2650 not bad for an evening's worth of driving really

so put that towards the cost of my Versadock for the Rib

Nice work Richard

Well this morning I waved good bye to Nauti Buoy, as the three guys from Guernsey came over and collected her. They are aiming to leave the Solent about 2pm ish and head over to Guernsey.

I have told the new chap about RIBnet so perhaps he will be in touch.

Richard,

I was out for a quick spin at 12ish, followed by a pint on the Light ship, when we saw 'her' heading out of the harbour. Thought it was you onboard.....but clearly not!!! It was not smooth in the solent when they went.... hope they arrive in one piece.

Well I have just had an interesting chat with one the chap who bought my rib, they have turned back and the rib is back on my mooring. The coastguard asked them to turn back. They are going to get a skipper to take the rib back for them.

Is it me or have you been drinking or should I before I read the last post

Not surprised its blowing a bit in the Solent at the moment, F6 - 7. A skipper you say

right lads form an orderly queue please.

The channel light vessel reports 22mph winds and 2ft waves - how on Earth could a 9m RIB cope with that............

Its telling a pack of lies, garden furniture has blown over, dustbin also gone over, bloody windy in the Solent this afternoon. Recon that was a good call by the Coast Guard, they would have been directly into a F6-7 all the way.

I think not - remember it takes time for the swells to build - mayeb you are just having a bad time of it locally?

Yesterday was one of the strangest weather conditions I have seen - Swansea was hot and sunny for most of the day - a thick sea fog rolled into Neath/Port talbot and it was a good 5C cooler with very poor viz - it rolled in so fast it was scary - only took about 5 mins at most.

Nos4r2 · 18 May 2007, 19:02

I'll do it

I was down at Port Solent this morning having 'diverted' to the Marine Superstore on my way between our two offices.

have to admit I wandered round to see how Nauti buoy sat on the versadock whilst I still had the chance, and saw you leaning over your balcony looking at her. Didn't think it was the right time to disturb you.

Hi ya,

Don't think it was me because we face the other way towards Porchester Castle. They are planning on re-attempting the trip tomorrow at 1-2pm.

They did make me laugh this eveing chatting to them, because they did not come prepared to stay over for the night. So they popped into Tesco and bought a value pack of 3 boxer shorts for £5

for them to share between them and tube of tooth paste.

Sunday however at the mo is lookin ideal 2 mph Northerley but they want to go tomorrow.

Fingers crossed for them. See what tomorrow brings still gonna be breezy for them.

codprawn · 18 May 2007, 21:59

Must have been a scary trip.............

nick wood · 19 May 2007, 00:11

They are giving SW F2-3 for tommorow (sat) in the Channel Islands area. I look forward to seeing her in local waters, the 2nd of many I hope

If all goes to plan I foresee her identical twin sister hitting Jersey later this year

Could be fun today. Doesn't look like any let up in the weather. I think Sunday would probably be a safer trip.
