CREZZ Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 I was lucky enough to get a chance to crew for Paul Jennings today on Marineboy in my first club comp . After a great day on the water we ended up with 6 bream , 4 to Paul and 2 for me , the best being 3lb 8oz to me , beginners luck , i think they call that . Thanks Paul for a great day out and for all the help and tips you passed on today . I hope i can crew for you again , as soon as my brownie point tin is full again . I really do advise any club members that are in the novice bracket , like myself , to go out crewing with one of the more experienced guys as you will learn so much as i did today , cheers again Paul .

Mike Fox Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Andy, Paul D would have been proud of us today. Anchored off the wreck of the Leny, wind against tide, and we were driven over the anchor cable, and managed to get a turn around our keel. Hauling in was out of the question, and reversing just dragged the anchor (guess we were lucky not to snag anything). After deciding to turn the boat slowly clockwise, it all jumped free, and we were able to haul in as per normal. Glad it wasn't our prop! How do others cope with wind against slackish tide? Haul in, drift then re-anchor seems safest! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
