Macspeedy and the mango took to the water! The regatta was Arbroath to Stonehaven.............overnight and back.


With a very cold Mac!


We had engine trouble outside Arbroath so we called the RNLI Inchcape to tow us in the last five miles. Went great till the we got to Arbroath outer harbour and ran a ground under tow. The Inchcape was having serious issues with the very low water.
Thanks to the lifeboat lads at Arbroath for the tow in as well as the warm tea.
We went back out on the rib at 12.30 to the now floating Hurley 22 to bring her into the outer harbour. The lifeboat has 420 hp x 2 cat engines......what a machine!!!! The rib was cool as well.......next weekend who knows.

You two should be seperated. you dont seem to have much luck together.
Smashed indy's last week, now a lifeboat rescue.
Get rid of the boat and buy the biggest rib you can afford, much more fun.

love em...

Boating is good fun yes. And looks like you had cold, but good, fun mango.

Not been out in our boat for ages... about time we did i think.

My uncle managed to crash his new yacht into a harbour bouy marker the other month, thankfully only a glancing blow. Quite funny actually...will teach him for not looking where he is going.

I would sell my house to buy a moody.........drool
