The Snake, Private B and a little Rib

by Bigplumbs » 14 Jun 2017, 15:37

On holiday on the beautiful Island of Skiathos and off we went to rent a rib. Standing at the small boat shack I was aware of a tall woman and a man next to me talking to the boat hire chaps wife. Turned and looked again and it was no other that Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. I am told they come to Skiathos every year and keep a rib with the boat guy.

So that is me rubbing shoulders with A listers :)

Couple of pics from today how I wish I had my boat here

I was actually quite disappointed with the rib the 90 hp Honda 4 stroke was not that good It may have been restricted. Either way I was expecting more speed but we still had a lovely day
