Southampton Boat Show

I used the Premier marina offer to get to the Boat Show by coach and met up with Brad and Bob, who were trying out the Cape Cutter for size. Isn't it annoying that as soon as you buy a boat you see another one that has some, but not all, of the shortcomings of your own boat sorted. In this case it is the huge amount of storage that the Cutter has opposed to the Shrimper - c'est la vie.

We had the obligatory visit to Wetherspoons - the second one of the days for the lads.......

We saw Stewart on his stand, enjoying a good show and bumped into Steve Hill and Simon Farley as we walked around. We managed to get onto a huge motor cruiser, will full standing room throughout the engine room.....

Following the show, stopping off for supper en route I spent a comfortable night on Daislebee, in spite of the rain and wind.
