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:
“To me, literature is a calling, even a kind of salvation. It connects me with an enterprise that is over 2,000 years old. What do we have from the past? Art and thought. That’s what lasts. That’s what continues to feed people and given them an idea of something better. A better state of one’s feelings or simply the idea of a silence in one’s self that allows one to think or to feel. Which to me is the same.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Seventy years have I lived
No ragged beggar man,
Seventy years have I lived,
Seventy years man and boy,
And never have I danced for joy.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
