Yes, how about some pics of the Mini! The son of a friend in the B O I had a classic Mini to go off to school with. I remember popping over one day and he was fabbing up some splash sheilding for the electrics on the front of the engine.

Interesting comment, Is that the work that you do there?
Is there now a hull inspection for incoming vessels? Would make sense, as there is so much shell fish grown there. And the introduction of fauna is now understood to be happening from vessels pumping their tanks in waters distant from where they were filled. What is done with vessels found to have unwanted marine life growing on the bottoms? Free bottom job :-)

Snag a pic of the chase boat if you get a chance too.
The on board experience on these boats looks verry athletic in the videos.
