Anyone done any Sib-ing on the Channel Islands? I've visited a few times, but never with a SIB.

I don't recall seeing or reading about any Sibbers boating there ........ it'd be great if you get to do it and an interesting read for sure ;-) 8-)

I don't think I've ever read any posts of sibs/fribs or even ribs around the Channel Islands. I've certainly never been and I agree with the above, it'd make good interesting reading.
Do it :mrgreen: :lol: :drive
F-RibsAndSibs.Com.... :whistle
Because it's a big old WWworld out there :mrgreen:

I lived on Jersey for a while (an ex was from there)
There are some wicked tides around jersey, ive seen 3 foot high static waves a cross a channel like a wall of water!
40ft tide range is not unusual, would be an area for a very experienced helmsman thats for sure.
