Having a busy winter at the moment, two back to back Atlantic crossings (Gran Canaria to St Lucia coming 3rd in racing division then a couple of weeks of BBQ's on the beach followed by St Lucia to Gran Canaria going the 'wrong way') relaxing in the Canaries before more fun sailing in a months time. You can see the route and blogs on the website www.bigspiritadventures.com

One of my favourite all round power boats from the "Huntress" upwards a real classic, and a good investment.I often used to berth with a couple of Huntsman boats when away for the weekend in the Solent, they ran out of Chichester as did I at the time way back in 84 on to 89 when I sailed away and left the U.K.

I'm undertaking my second refit at the moment, I did it 8 years ago too.

Engine serviced, antifouling going on this weekend. Looking forward to some more of this soon.
Waheyyy.
He then wanted to see what the difference was between ours and his, which had a larger engine than his.
I obviously could not pass up the opportunity to get my own back when I saw a 80ft Sunseeker about 300 yards away! He did not speak for the rest of the journey back into the marina :-)

I thought you were contemplating a big purchase last year?....
yeah. numbers never came in though....Dad keeps 'doing the sums' - but as you all know, they never stack up
As before, in your boots (or postcode) I would take anything that floats..... for occasional usage, which is all I get, renting is the only way.
Until we have a G&T and we start bullstting about getting something.
So, looking at two charters this year. one with ourselves and another couple (the ones who had a bereavement if you remember I had a 473 tee'd up for Gocek), and another with the boys later in the summer.
Back to you lot showing off your shiny money pits !
When you own, especially local (ish, ours is two hours away, although it's near close family), you end up doing a lot more last minute weekends, etc. I guess it works out.
I've said I'll arrange another charter week for the lads later this year, probably channel isles way again, my boat just isn't big enough for eight big ugly blokes!
We are sailing to Bestival in September though, which should be a bit of fun, might take a jet boat as well (I reckon around 6-8 minutes to cross the Solent, weather permitting).
I'm just glad work isn't so hectic now, and I can enjoy this sort of thing again. There's no point working hard without getting decent rewards!
Is it the same 1400cc 4 stroke motor found in the chinese skis which are replicas of Sea-Doo's & Yams?
