The Speedboat

14th January 2007

Now I've driven a few go-karts in my time, including a very fast and (most probably) highly illegal one in Thailand and one on ice in Bristol, but never a speedboat. I was given this opportunity by Chris and Martin, who invited H and I up to the Hawkesbury with Anna and Claire, for a day out on their 32 foot timeshare speedboat.

No matter how much fun I have had in the past on a go-kart, I can safely say that driving a speedboat at 45mph is so much better. I think H would agree! We hooned around the same places we went on the houseboat, as well as Palm Beach, the home of Home & Away.

What a brilliant day out it was. Great weather, great company and a great way to check out our new waterproof camera.

Check out the other videos here (I sound posh, but I'm not!), here and here.

I have never been a big fan of boating but this was so much fun. Quite why anyone would want to go sailing when you can drop a couple of engines over the back is beyond me.
