Sam Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 were hoping to get up today at 8 in the morning but after returning at 12 last night from led zeppelin tribute concert it was looking doubtfull. we got up at half 8 and were out the house by 9 down to the boat all gear on and start the engine. and then the engine decides it doesn't want to start. 2 hours later dads got it working (luckily dads got some experience with marine engines, 24 years as a navy marine engineer) headed up the harbour and was just approaching old harry and decided it was not rite to head for a wreck so were going to head for swanage. hit about three giant waves and dad decided to turn round heading back in. got back in the harbour and in the marina so we had some pracice bringing the boat up aside the jetty, took daniel a couple of times i did it first time then washed down the boat and home for an early shower hope any other boats out there had a better day than us. tight lines sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 can be a tough call to come in after all that effort but - if you even think it might be the right call it probably is! congers won't go anywhere - get 'em next time.

Sam Posted January 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 true but it is not worth risking your life for fish how big it. you dont want it to end up like the 3 people out of codfathers report and end up losing your boat sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
