Jim Posted August 8, 2015 Author Report Posted August 8, 2015 30 knots - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 30 Flipping knots ! Launched at 08:00 with great expectations. Pootled along to Brownsea castle to try for bait. Only got a couple so decided to go out into the bay for a few mackerel. Leaving the harbour and looking at the sea which was nearly as smooth as one of my Brother's chat up lines, I decided to find out if dinging my prop a couple of times had reduced my speed. Nope ! 30 Flipping knots ! And so smooth ! I just headed out quite a way flat out. I didn't do any Yahoo ing but I felt like it ! It was great. I stopped at various intervals to try for mackerel but no good. If I'd got a few I'd have whizzed over to the ledge but no ! Went to Swanage bay and anchored up to try for a few rays. None of the swimming kind came my way but the Sun did and I'm quite scorched Had some more of my chicken tikka baguettes and decided to head out into the bay again. Just whizzing around and stopping every so-often to have a go for mackerel. I ended up with 3 but nothing in shoals. just the odd one here & there. Headed back in and heard Charlie & Martin on the Radio. I did answer your call for any PBSBAC boats Charlie but only got my hand-held and must be out of range. I couldn't hear Martin and thought I was talking to you. You made some funny comments to what I was saying until I realised what was going on ! AS I was coming back through the harbour, I heard you both again but headed back in anyway as I was getting knackered by this time. Back on the trailer by 3. Home - washed down & unloaded by 5 I must be getting old, I'm knackered. But what a lovely day ! Oh yes, I almost forgot. Day out on the boat with lots of whizzing about ( no fish though ) ½ tank of fuel. ( 12 or 13 litres ) SORTED ! 30 knots this morning but all that traffic made it lumpy so 4000 revs & 18 to 20 knots this afternoon. I wonder if there's a prize for being the quickest to NOT find fish Jim rich185, Maverick Martin, Ark and 4 others 7 Quote
Maverick Martin Posted August 8, 2015 Report Posted August 8, 2015 Good to hear you got out Jim, it was a lovely day for being out there. I was talking to Charlie am on my hand held, we were in Studland but never heard you, I would have responded honestly PM I was on the fixed set in South Deep didn't hear you then either. Try a radio check with harbour control (14) Jim 1 Quote
