Oh yes, of course, I had forgotten that there will be a small toll to be extracted by BW when the Chairman ventures onto normal waters. Never mind though, he can put it on expenses as part of the royal tour around his domain. ;-))) On another, entirely serious, matter. Not having bought a BW licence for a few yeas now, aren't they quite a bit more than £600 for a 57 - 59 ft boat? I remember when I was involved with SOW calculating that, if BW's over-inflation compounding of licence fee increases came to fruition that Albion would have been approaching £900 at the end of the exercise. I think I remember that BW didn't apply the last phase of the increase but, even so, it must be more than £600? I hope so anyway as, if not, it makes my annual VNF licence for Phoenix less attractive at £430 and that is based on area too ;-))) Roger
