Recent Years
The League of Venturers have evolved in recent years thanks largely to a substantial legacy and ongoing support from the public and private persons.
The purchase of two Ocean Dynamics wateret RIBs played a big part in this, however the larger 40 foot cabin RIB had to be sold in late 2005, it was replaced with a Humber Ocean Pro 6.3 that provided a training platform for the Venturers in the waters of the Solent.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“Not too many years ago, a child’s experience was limited by how far he or she could ride a bicycle or by the physical boundaries that parents set. Today ... the real boundaries of a child’s life are set more by the number of available cable channels and videotapes, by the simulated reality of videogames, by the number of megabytes of memory in the home computer. Now kids can go anywhere, as long as they stay inside the electronic bubble.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“In the Corner Store, near the village center, hangs a large sign reading: ‘After 40 years of credit business, we have closed our book of Sorrow.’”
—For the State of Maine, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
