The jet boat experience

pressman · 01 November 2005, 22:20

Ok all you Solenteers,

How would you like a jet boat experience!!

Just an idea.

I have some time off coming up in December,(Nov. committed), who would like to try a ride in a jet boat?

Idea is to meet off of Calshot, have some knee tremblers for all, then moor up and have some good food at the Spinnaker bar at calshot along with some ale.

We have access to some moorings at Calshot.

Anyone interested?

If so, be warned, bring a spare pair of underpants

put me down for a spin on the underpant killer

cheers

perhaps we can pick you up on route as we flit past iceland and head off round the top of scotland. If we leave at say 8 am we will pick you up at your place around noon....get the kettle on for a cuppa

this is going to be so much fun

We're looking at 4th December Bogi, you'll be most welcome we can put you up if need be

bogib · 01 November 2005, 23:06

Any time welcome just make sure taking with you strong hot coffee and some wooly underpants as it´s a bit chilly up here at the moment and snowy but I will be waiting ready at the bus station....................

I will have a look at my diary although I am afraid I will be in Parish at the time for the boat show.

Fantastic thanks!!!

A couple of pics

Pressman Id like to come too, bit of a trip from Cornwall though

Still I'd love to see if the stuff about jet drives being no good in rough seas are true, a jet rib in my home port would be ideal to get in and out near low tide.
