charlieannear Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 I can't believe it. Lovely sunny day, flat calm out, next to no wind and no-one else is sitting in front of a computer, posting things for me to read... Quote
Mike Fox Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 I would Charlie, but am imagining a weekend of fishing, catching my traditional undersized, spiny and inedible specimens, in readiness for having them disallowed in the species competition for being unlisted (as well as probably unidentifiable). Hope the boat is up together and out this weekend! Mike Quote
charlieannear Posted June 26, 2006 Author Report Posted June 26, 2006 Nope! Saturday was an hour in Poole Sea Angling Centre, then off to a wedding at the Haven, although we did get out on the water as the day included a harbour cruise. Loads of boats out there, including Bliss II which we passed by the chain ferry. There was also a fab gunboat out there which I have tracked down here Yesterday was a garden party which was a bit of a washout, and the football didn't help much... Oh well, the sun should be back tomorrow when we go out with Admiral Bettle Quote
Sam Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 that boat is impressive had a look on it once and its really impresive wouldn't want to argue with it sam Quote

blueboatdriver Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 (edited) That really is an impressive boat. If anyone's interested in this sort of boat and enjoys reading there's a book by L.C. Reynolds called; "Motor Gunboat 658" small boat war in the Mediterranean. It gives an incredible insight into what these boats were capable of during the war. In one part of the book it tells you that they changed the engines out every 500 hours; some service. Really worth reading though, Simon. Edited June 26, 2006 by blueboatdriver Quote
