Anybody recommend a good boat to go to Normandy on?
Anybody recommend a good boat to go to Normandy on?
Rob arranged the trip that I mentioned earlier.[b said:Quote[/b] (peter k @ Jan. 21 2004,14:48)]PM Rob Evans. I think he's fairly clued up on that area.
And if your going down and doing sensible depths(sub 50) give me a shout. Might be interested.

OK as in acceptable. They said the boat isn't very fresh but is OK. The skipper was apparently very good.[b said:Quote[/b] (Snash @ Jan. 21 2004,14:20)]OK as in good or OK as in acceptable???![]()
Experience from our club is that White Horse tended to just use one port and not stray from there (maybe a bit much to expect too much cruising but a change in port during the week would have been welcomed).
I also seem to remember there was grumblings about skipper's attitiude but cant comment as I was not there. What everyone agreed on was that it was good diving

Yup, that sound like the White Horse.[b said:Quote[/b] (Rupert Bear @ Jan. 22 2004,14:25)]I was warned off a Normandy boat as having the skipper from hell and boat as being due for the scrapyard
I talked to a couple more of my friends here in Gothenburg last night and they say the same - lousy boat, skipper very good at handling the boat but with a major attitude problem.[b said:Quote[/b] (diving dude @ Jan. 22 2004,21:29)]Yup, that sound like the White Horse.[b said:Quote[/b] (Rupert Bear @ Jan. 22 2004,14:25)]I was warned off a Normandy boat as having the skipper from hell and boat as being due for the scrapyard
I was threatened with being sued for saying something similiar to this about a dive shop[b said:Quote[/b] (Angus @ Jan. 23 2004,20:59)]As Howard has already mentioned avoid John Ayling and the White Horse like the plague!!
