Stuck in the mud & a speeding warning..

[john-e89]

Tides coming in so a cheeky little run out of Padstow to see if the dolphins are playing ball before the footy…

Got my knuckles a little rapped yesterday for not slowing down soon enough….. Ooopsie…. :lol:

(Stupid boat name….not got round to changing it yet… :roll: )

 

[Mr Tidy]

Enjoy living the dream.

 

[BeeEmm]

Glad you are able to make use of the boat. Enjoy it. I expect the Nauti Girl will be used to Seaman on her.

Oh you have no idea how many jibes I’ve had so far….. :lol:

40yr long dream realised by driving my own boat out of Padstow Mr Tidy….it’s a basic boat but I love it..!

Well then you are living the dream! And it's good to hear that you have finally got what you wanted for so long.

But your boat looks far from basic. In your photos it's top of the range in Padstow!

You should see some of the cruisers in the inner harbour Mr T….I couldn’t get a berth there so having to slum it on the outer harbour…. :lol: It’s better there though tbh as the inner harbour guys have to wait for the sea gates to open, I can get off as soon as it’s afloat, a good hr before the gates open. I was on a swinging mooring this week out in the channel, had to swim to the boat and back with my son, was a lot of fun and good to have a long swim each day

 

[buzyg]

It's a great boat name. :lol:

That’s what it’s all about John, spending time with the family and making memories, you can’t beat it

Life is a journey to be lived, fulfilment of dreams and sharing them with the ones you love is the best part of the journey. Love the name of the boat, it’s so you, it may just be my imagination, but I see you as a cross between Terry Thomas and Leslie Phillips

Looks a lovely boat. Had a couple over the years, 1st one had a dubious name and always said we would change it but never got around to it. They say it's bad luck to change a boats name in nautical circles.

Just turned 14 last month and he’s been eating the ocean floor since he was 5….

Damn that boy is weird…. :lol:

Was a 90 hp Mariner. It was a race Marsha 162 race hull with bucket front seats and foot throttle. It was a fast little sod

I bet it was with a 90 and that weight…! Prob as quick if not more than mine with a modest for the boat size 250 V6, 38knots full throttle but 25knots is a very nice cruise and plenty fast enough to be on the plane.

I’ll take that Sars… :lol: I do pull friends legs a lot I’ll admit, but it’s never seedy and only with those I know I can get away with it with.

The relationship I have with my son is one I wouldn’t be without, it’s the one thing I’ve got right in life thankfully, we couldn’t be any closer, he works hard at school and plays hard when it’s fun time, proud isn’t a good enough word…!

Lol,what was the full name , can't make it out . Cocaine what?
Smart looking boats,Jay and John.
Had a couple of Fletcher speedboats back in the day,loved them to bits
A very enjoyable way to spend either an hour or two,or full days,going somewhere in lovely weather.
Hopefully enjoy that again in year's to come,with my son.

It was Cocaine Charlie. Mrs thought I was buying a canoe an I turned up with that a couple of days before Christmas haha. Best 2 grand I ever spent. Had her 4 years and sold her for £1900 and kept all the skis and water toys that came with it.

That was quite cheap,ex drug runners boat,lol.

I did the same with my first Fletcher speedboat,only lost around £400 on it,and kept skis etc like yourself. Had the first one for around 6 years too.

You would have got some interesting looks with that name on the boat, haha
