Thanks to those ribs that came to my assistance on Monday off Anglesey

Had a breakdown (mechanical not mental!) off Moltreith Beach on Monday while wakeboarding with friends. I flagged down a passing rib, not realising that it was part of a group of ribs heading down the coast. They all rafted up and offered assistance and advice. Fortunately I managed to get another boat from our group that were picnicking to come and tow me home.
Just a quick thanks to them for raising our spirits! Cannot remember what type of ribs they were but they were all dressed up for a cross atlantic crossing (with boats to match!).

You'd be forgiven for laughing. wilLfie is importing his own lines of "tribute" ribs from the Fu Kin Rubber Company at knock off, I mean, knock down prices. The Redbai is selling well (although the cabin isn't reacting well with water and may need an extra coat of lacquer). It shares many features with his Osprai range, except that the Redbai actually LOOKS like a real rib.

I thought they might appeal to anyone who was "cautious" with their hard earned cash, like DM (apparently?)

wilLfish also has a nice line in polyester tees with "ai haz a redbai" emblazoned on them. Pure class
