Awesome day well worth two reports.

Welcome to the club,this is a great club. I am the safety officer and its always good to find out your skill levels on a boat ,your skills may be needed in an emergency even though you are going to crew most of the time, you might like to think about a competent crew days training if you feel it might be necessary. The situation may arise when you may need to man the helm and pilot the boat, call for help ect, we have all done this training or similar and always found it valuable. If you think you might like to do this send me a personal message and we will help you. Mal Enjoy your boating and keep safe.

Welcome Steve your in good company in this club, if you require any Safety advice, Vhf radio License or Training please get in touch with me and we will organise help. If you could give us an idea of your seamanship skills we will help where ever we can. Enjoy your boating and be safe rather than sorry. Mal Thomas Safety Officer.

As one of the busiest waterways in the World and with open sea just minutes away I was wondering if members thought this speed is justifiable in this area. BTW as an ex motorcyclist I love a bit of speed as the Dorset constabulary have just reminded me with a penalty notice

Tragic accident for the young crew member who is still in hospital with head injuries, can someone please explain to me why the pilot felt it necessary to test a prototype so close to a cardinal mark with a mixed crew in the Solent at 80mph.

What did the spotty weigh Lofty.

The radio is you friend when your on a long trip, it gives you that peace of mind that help is not far away should something go Pete Tong, wise decision Hooky. I will rest peacefully in the knowledge your safe when your out on that big bad sea far far away. Your new safety officer. Mal

Pleased about your good news, go and enjoy the summer, tight lines.

Happy birthday guys, as its your birthday could you request some better weather for the weekend.
