| I do hope this is a new Cat, and not Alex's old one (he was trying to flog it last time we were up there in Oct)! Problem with that Cat is a short bow (fore of the wheelhouse) which set her very high in the water - esp with 10 'twinned' divers on the aft deck. Still haven't dived off a boat in Abbs as good as the one Billy had before the current one he's got (and is no doubt flogging). Now that was a dive boat: there was enough room for twelve fully-twinned divers, a team of Equatorial juggling pygmies and their retinue to perform and a small Woodstock-sized Peace Concert. Either way, agreed - good luck Billy and we'll see ya soon

| Update: New catemaran is steel hulled to suit rough conditions, fiberglass hasa tough time at St Abbs due to small harbour. 28 feet long and 15 feet beam. Loads of room, much bigger than Lady Gail. Billy hopes also to install a divers lift. Wow! Billy pulling all the stops on this one to give the divers a confortable stable platform to dive from. In addition new website in development http://www.rockhousediving.com Regards, Gary. |
