My name is not Tony either but 132 other have also viewed so I thought ....what the heck!
I hope Andrew succeeds with his new boat and his business prospers.
It is not that he hasn't put a lot into it. He seems to have tried very hard with little or no help.

Put me in a dress and call me Tony if it makes you feel better.

C'mon the Pentalina II, always my first choice on my Orkney travels

Good luck to Mr Banks and I hope he can make this work.

The world needs more people with this sort of energy.

The big cat (Stena HSS) never seems to have a problem on the Larne/Belfast route. The original wee one (Seacat) used to be out of service due to weather from time to time.

We had a bad crossing from Dunlery to Hollyhead once on the Seacat (before the HSI was introduced) and I felt so ill that I swore I would never play rugby in Ireland again.:eek:

I found that if it is rough on a boat you can at least go with it ,but the seacat throws you about and you have no control at all. :confused
