London Boat Show

   aye- if they've not got a serious customer due, of course they're happy to give you a guided tour- it's just they don't want hordes on board messing it up for when one of the w/bankers aarives in the branded Rangerover.

	On the Princess 32M I asked who buys them and the majority seem to be wealthy Arabs and Russians. The boat show model was off to the middle east. Maybe the £7.6M asking price is out of reach of most w/bankers.

	Went today, it was really buzzing, the bike and outdoor show is good, the boat bit seemed a bit flat but I think the venue is soo big now they've extended it, then I went right down the other end and the bit round the pool was fairly buzzing, they were having underbiter races, dinghies, kayaks all sorts of stuff, RS, Topper, didn't see Laser but I expect they were there somewhere. Couldn't find Y&Y, went for lunch in the RYA lounge only for them to call me on my membership which it turned out had expired in 2004 when I'd changed banks and they'd cancelled the direct debit, so got embarrassed into signing up again. Had a look at a really neat J Boat, tempted but the breadknife would never wear it, brought some bamboo socks and undies, had a guiness, caught up with some old pals, one of which I now find is sailing a bloody solo, what a come down from Olympic Campaigning a flying dutchman, I pointed him at the Rs100 whilst pointing out he still had a pulse. That was about my day, other than the business bits I'd gone there for, even thinking about going back again on Sunday there's so much going on I missed.
