jack Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 PAL-O-Mine .Andy and I were able to get out on Sunday,[due to the rumour put about that the weather would be far to bad for Andy to work on his loft conversion,cant think who started that one] Headed out to an offshore mark,into rather lumpy conditions,arrived only to find Martin and Dean on site.Despite our earlier assurances about taking pity on pennant flying club members we dropped anchor amongst some quite impressive swells.We picked up the inevitable but welcome doggies,as well as a pollack and small conger.At this point we noticed that Martin,who had seemed busy when we arrived was now doing nothing.fearing that our arrival had "queered the pitch" so to speak,and valueing our club membership ,we upped and cleared off.Moved inshore ,passing several club boats with crew concentrating on the tasks in hand ,took a leisurely lunch in the shelter of Ballard down where the tide fell away,and,after an hour of idly turning round and round in the keen wind,we retreated through the car park of boats gathered around Brownsea Castle to Cobbs and gave the boat a major turn-out and scrub down,A good day out,some fish on board,plenty of fresh air,and several outstanding jobs completed.What more could you ask for on a winters day in mid November...Congratulations to those on the competition prize list ,..Look foreward to seeing the results...Jack and Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaicemat Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Sounds like a red letter day for you, Jack. Much different from your usual conservation conscious methods. Perhaps the fish stocks of the English Channel had better look to their safety. Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Jack if you look at the winners list and what was landed you may wish to join the fun next year. We hope that you do I expect that if you were into a few dogs you would have had a prize or two and even prizes well down the list were very worth having, Rich's Bully was I believe 8th and won him a hand held VHF radio for his new boat Tight lines Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Thanks one and all,it was'nt so much a case of not wanting to join in,but Andy is in midst of major home -works as well as his own work,so we worked on the assumtpion that he would not be out last week-end.In fact I am never told until the evening before,if we are going out or not.makes things a little awkward but beggars cant be choosers. cheers jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
