It was a great trip over to you Philip but you need a bigger fridge🤣
I've no idea how we got to the hotel either🤔😋
The fridge is still available, if you were here last night you could have finished off the Red Horse beer we imported, its 8% ;D . We got some in for daughters wedding to Jean, (know to some as "Paddy the Filipino")

Yep - that was quite a night!  I recall that emptying the fridge was a challenge duly accepted. Not sure how we got back to the hotel! Good night that was.
I was actually thinking of you guys yesterday when doing some bits to the craft, I can never thank you enough for the help you gave us.
I've no idea how you got back to the hotel either 😁 but there still some left of Mary's Red X if you want to call over anytime.

Well he did finish off the bottle, and Ian did try Mary's RED X. He actually survived :) :) :D

I have now replaced the bottle so hopefully we will see some visitors next year.

Calm waters are super to say the least BUT---
Theres aways a BUT---
Last Holiday---I experienced more "STICKTION" of the rear quarters than EVER before
purely because of the smooth waters.
As is known a few ripples are the best to break up that smooth surface.
It became so bad one day I had to stop and remove the engine cover incase the drag flap in there had partially sheared off or something.
It was normal in there. I THEN noticed IF I sat exactly CENTRAL- and LEVEL, the problem went away.
So Phillip, You are the white craft, and who owns the yellow? Sorry if I should know.  ::) [size=78%] [/size]

We're always jealous of the calm water we see on some videos but this year we got some ourselves :)  Video is from a 30 euro camera so please excuse the quality!
