Gastrnaught......

[alun j.]

Picked up my new 5 20 today, last thing........ after a morning's fish in the windy conditions..... but some good bream to show !

 

Pm. cleaning down 4 40 to pass on to Dave [ hope he gets as much fun and success as I have over past four years ] ....... then dash of to Lymington to collect; boy, she's bigger and heavier !!

 

Tomorrow.... a few jobs......... greasing up all visible metal to stall effects of MUdeford salt.......... swatting through the handbook on the Lowrance plotter ....

....... and maybe take the other half out

 

Sorry , I won't be able to make family day afloat this time,

 

Alun.

There's an 'o' missind there.......... Gastronaught..........!!

Congrats on your new acquisition. You won't be wanting to out on any old warriors in future, I can see. I hope you have as much fun and success as you did with the last one, but with room to turn around. I'm looking forward to seeing it on the water.

All the best with the new boat, Alun. My wife and family were well impressed with your "old" boat when they saw it - they're all keen on trying it out (not all together!). Thanks again, and for the mackerel - we shared them for dinner this evening - Yum! (hopefully a taste of things to come; got the boat, now if I can just catch some fish...!)

Alun,

 

Now I know why you passed without noticing me as I was towing back from Wick, didnt think you would be going out again. You were obviously focussed on only one thing, get new boat, get new boat, and get new boat.

 

Wishing you every success with her,

 

Gordon H

Contrats on the new boat Alun.

 

I hope she brings you many years if safe and successful fishing trips.

 

All you need now is a club penant so we will recognise you when out over those secret marks!

 

Have fun with her

 

Coddy

Alun, Dave,

 

Your members details have been updated with your new boats.

 

Dave, do you have a name for her, yet?

Congratulations on the new boat Alun. BTW: If you want some horizontal rod holders to mount at the rear of the boat ( as mine are ) then I have some which would fit the bill

Congratulations Alun,

 

If you love it as much as I love my new toy then you will have to convince the FPO that your not having an affair. Looking longingly out the window at her, running your hand along her when you walk past, smiling for no apparent reason.

Alun - I suspect that you will have many many great trips with Gastronaught. Enjoy.

[alun j.]

Thanks Duncan...... was expecting to have had a few by now..... but confounded by James' spell on the weather ........ looks like some sole sessions coming up soon though ........if I can keep my eyes open at work the next day .

 

Gordon..... I know what you mean ....... the draw of clean, shiny gel coat ,..... in deep dark colours !.....must get out more !!!

 

Alun.

Nice one Alun

 

I hope your success continues with the new boat, I will have to check the spelling when the weather settles and your fish reports start

I'm getting desperate. Had to go and catch some trout yesterday evening just to retain my sanity. How long can this wind last? I'm still talking weather here. On the plus side, we have a supply of trout fillets in the freezer.
