Went out on a cruiser
Went on a jolly through work with an engineering supplies company.
Was taken from Poole harbour to Saltys restaurant on the Isle of Wight in a Fairline Phantom 43
Cruised along Poole and Bournemouth coastline, a quick whizz around the Needles and then in to Yarmouth Harbour
Though I have always lived in Poole, so close to the sea, have never really been interested in boats or watersports, but this cruiser certainly changed that.
I want one

Soon as the missus has qualified from her training contract we will be getting one (yeah OK, maybe only about a 27ft "ancient" one but that'll ding dang do!) Lovely part of the world though mate - get down that way at least once a year and never want to come back!

I still cannot believe that you can buy a boat tomorrow and go out on the open seas with out any form of training - people who do this must be CRAZY - I havent got the foggiest what needs to be done, and would definitely book the relevan courses for me and the missus!
