Sorry I ment Sunday is 2-3 not Sat! Yes does not look very nice out there today, a lot of white stuff!

They have flown back this afternoon, and a skipper is bringing the rib back tomorrow for them. They are quite lucky as they got chatting to 3 guys from Guernsey collecting another cruiser from Port Solent 2 of which are skippers so one of them is going to bring it back for him.

I would have done it for the price of a return Condor ticket - then again probably cheaper to import a new one.....

Well the rib has gone

the skipper has collected and is staying in another marina in the Solent, have spoken to Kevin the new owner and they are planning on making an early start so my guess would be back to Guernsey 10/11am ish if not earlier.

As far as Jersey Ribsters go I see most of them wearing lifejackets! I do and so does any one who comes on my RIB! Saftey 1st!

And Hightower that pic is in GUERNSEY!!!!!

Glad to see her safe and sound in the Channel Islands, hope to see her soon.

Tony, do you know who skippered the RIB over to Guernsey?

Nick

Tony · 20 May 2007, 15:19

I have no idea who skippered the rib over..

As for life jackets, all my family and any guests that come out on my boat wear life jackets or they stay watching from the harbour!!!

Tony

The Jackeens · 21 May 2007, 08:21

Saw her leaving. Farewell to another popular yellow boat.

Good luck to the new owner

Nauti look forward to the next arrival!

K & P

Andre · 21 May 2007, 09:09

I do hope the new owner gets as much pleasure and satisfaction out of her as Richard did.

I guess this ends this thread as we move on to MK2

Nauti Buoy · 29 May 2007, 13:45

Racing in Guernsey this weekend

codprawn · 29 May 2007, 14:19

Needs rougher water I reckon!!!

What are you doing about the name? It is very bad luck to change the name of a boat so you may have to get a new name for your boat if they register theirs!!!

nick wood · 29 May 2007, 14:26

Fantastic looking shots there! she looks better every time I see her! Can't wait for mine! Richard did Kevin send you the pics? Looks like he is enjoying hem self a bit much though!
