CarlT67 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Going for a boat trip....? I was talking to some colleges today and one of them had a friend who has a power boat, used to do 40knots + over to the isle of white, get pissed, then power back dodging the ferries. Sounded like a bit of fun, costly though at £100 round trip just for fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlT67 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Thats probably a very good idea, I wouldn't like to become stranded and then not know what to do. Will it be the first time using your boat..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Went on a fishing trip to the IOW with one of my suppliers last summer, fished for bass in the morning then took a small speed dingy to the IOW mainland, fantastic fun, he drove the dingy at stupid speed right up onto the beach Had lunch at a very nice hotel and then went out to the main boat again for the afternoon, got very choppy late in the day, was quite a few "unwell" folk on board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
