You wouldn't believe how hard I am trying to get the boat sorted weep.gif

 

Total re-wire, new cables, new prop, etc etc,

 

Was ready to fire up the old motor last night, failed again, starter motor decides to give up blink.gif

 

Last try this afternoon , starter going over to AJS in Wimbourne, if that can be sorted, she will get a few hours shakedown Saturday afternoon.

If that goes wrongR dry.gifdry.gif it could be running around the harbour on a little 2.5 aux.

 

If that fails you will here a shout on ch6 for a tow laugh.gif

We will be in and around the harbour saturday too as we are testing our boat VALTON formaly sparta. she has been out for 6 weeks for a complete refit, its been some very late nights after work but she was 99% finished at 11pm last night.

all new stainless steal rails and arch complete with rod holders.

fusion stereo

all electrics rewired and some new toys.

Three new pumps just in case

Full engine and leg strip down and rebuild by mermaid marine.

It will all change and Saturdays weather will push in to Sunday and be lovely!

 

I think that this could happen as we have seen the forecast change last minute before - it will have to get significantly worse for the Comp to be cancelled. Worse case, lets all go to the Boat House for a free curry!

Guys,

 

I would say we are ON!

 

Let's see what we can catch, the forecast is no worse than last year and the harbour and outside along the cliffs will be fishable, might just be a dogfest!

 

Mark, there is no discount on fuel from Cobbs, launching is

My Chest infection seems to be O'K' now so I intend fishing the open.

I have room for 1 crew if anyone fancies a day out on a little boat with a skipper who has no idea how to catch fish. wink.gif

Well there's no point saying I'm a " spurt ".

It's been so long since I've been out, I've forgotten my ( Alun Jones ) lessons. weep.gif

Make sure you post in the "need crew" part of the forum!

 

I thought you were the dogfish king/queen, they always get in the prizes!

Folks, a slight issue for those with larger boats:

 

- there's a high tide at 17:00 ish (apparently) on Sunday

- there's no bridge lift at 16:30

 

I know a few club boats would struggle to get under after the 3.30 lift.

 

As there's no 08.30 lift either, Frisky would only be able to be "out" from 9.30 to 3.30 on this basis, so am not going to be able to fish this one, and steam out too far!

 

Good luck all who fish.

You're right Brian - my mistake - there is a 16.30 lift on the winter timetable, it was the 5.30 that's missing - which would be too late for the scales.
