Here are a few pics from the Venture cup. Europe is definitely different than Fla but I cant complain, I got to go boating. Thanks OSO member Paul Buckner for the invite and the ride. Oh, and it did not rain at all and I did see the sun.

First pic is coming up to London bridge. Those silver thinks are giant flood gates that are supposed to protect London from flooding. Last couple are by Pauls house. If it was 90 i would of thought i was in florida. I have some more will post up later.

Thanks for posting some nice photos Penut ,you are right about the flood gates protect London and drowned the rest of us . i see you got the hang of it now Penut .
Did you get my Email are you up for the poker run .
The HTS858 boat is the boat that won the L/M race back in 1972 thats 2400mile of raceing and she is looking good and can still do the bizz..
i had a great time in London meeting OSO member Penut and jeanette , thats Penut at the wheel just about to take out Tower bridge.

He Peanut, not sure if we got to speak or not - spoke to Ole and Bobby, I hope you don't mind I have stolen the photo of us in the lock (That's not my ass by the way!).

Will you come back for the big one next year?

Nice Pics. Thank You

I have a few more of you guys running also. Their was also a photographer with us on Pauls boat that may have more pics. I will ask Paul about it but im sure he will chime in. I stopped by the boat when I was their on friday but you were at a drivers meeting. Sad to hear about the engine going down. Wish you guys would of been able to run the whole thing and made it more interesting. Look forward to meeting you at Cowes if your their.

Yes Penut i have sent john/Elite boat and Robin /Boss boat some pictiure, Took a while as i dont know how to send pictures got the guy that works with me to do it.

I think we would have had a good event with a fraction of the HP of the big guys but we'll never know! We'll be in Cowes which will be the boats third and my fourth to Torquay, I was entered a fifth but it was cancelled due to weather. Got the photos thanks Paul! If you guys need any help with anything for Cowes let me know - If I can't help I probably know someone who can!
