Sinbad Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Just sold Sinbad, my Orkney, to a man from Ireland. He went away happy and so did I - albeit as happy as anyone can be when they see their pride and joy disappear. Just got to say how fantastic Boats and Outboards was - advertising cost : Nil. Well over 500 hits within 2 weeks, and sold on week 3, full asking price. Not going to re-invest until later in the year unless I see a real bargain. No doubt will be 'gagging' to get out and temptation will get the better of me after a few months! Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alun j. Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Hi Paul, Never need to be 'gagging' to get out fishing; you're always welcome, if you don't mind the squash on little old 4 40............ and you're welcome to take her out on your own if / when you can escape midweek when I'm at work ! Bream coming any moment now......... what a good time to sell ! See you soon, Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaicemat Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Hi, Paul. I've a feeling I may be looking for crew this summer as my friend Pete has been grasped by the caravan bug. You're welcome anytime. Give me a shout when you're free. Terry B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinbad Posted April 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Terry /Alun Felt very heartened by your offers of crew... and generous boat loan during the week. With the latter, I'd have to get back before the master returned to find I'd only returned a few doggies and pout for a days unleaded ! I'm going to be pretty busy on a home extension at weekends, and only time I can foresee is the odd evening or weekday, hence the sale of the boat. Let Alun and me know when you are next down (dont leave it too late for the bream - last year they were all gone in June) and I'll try to squeek out a pass.

Fugazi Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 (dont leave it too late for the bream - last year they were all gone in June) Paul, The good news is they didn't go until the end of September, they just moved. I still managed to catch them quite late, but only the small ones 1-1/2 to 2lb. Your right about the big ones they had gone and talking to Alun J the other day he mentioned that he'd experienced the same.
