Jetstar 400
« on: July 11, 2012, 09:55:25 PM »
Finally managed to get out on southampton water the other day for a couple of hours after a winter of sorting out some issues.. Couple of small issues still to sort but great fun jumping over the wake from the red funnel ferry. Yee haa! I've been waiting 10 years for this day.

You lucky thing, all the water we have here is rain and flood and we have just come out of a hosepipe ban?
If you get to Poole my pal runs the Blueline Cruise ship out of there, his wake is not as good Red Funnel, but the jet skiers love it, they seem to wait for him as he leaves the chain ferry  ;D

Just in case you have not seen this link, it might show the importance of the not so well known Jetstar Bluebird, I know Mark is on their blogg:

Not only that, I think you can purchase a new one now, can anyone confirm that?
