I will probably be on the solent tomorrow heading for weymouth most likely. Are you going out to watch the P1 powerboat racing? Saw them practicing today - twin unsilenced v8s.

Evening all. Nice day out today but not much wind. Now sitting in the cove at weymouth harbour.

No one on here was in a boat called plonker that broke down? Quite amusing hearing the coast guard calling him.

The one in red? Tony Toll's old boat, recently under new ownership. Tony now has an apache 41, which he was out in as well.

Yep, saw hi/it too.

I guess the other 'bad ass' noisy powerboats running up and down the line of spectator boats where 'sponsor's boats'? A nice distraction from the racing smile

We siddled up to what must of been a Sunseeker demo boat (not sure of the model), about a 50ft flybridge thinking "you're not so big and clever" then its big brother appeared and we slipped off with our tail between our legs/engines/rudders paperbag
