I'm in

I hope every member has done but not told everyone? No brainer.

Sounds like lack of fuel to me Hooky ? ? ? ? Glad you got out . . . . . and back again safely.

Mostly excellent news, congrats on getting her going, i bet we could have seen your smile from Poole 😁 now go on and enjoy youself

It happened, Doombar has her first fish ! FIrst drop using small Sabikis, three bass, all retuned, the mackeral were thicker than soup ! Big bait down produced a nice Gurnard followed by a nice little spotty . Time was limited as I'm not confident in the engine yet ( still goes lumpy when pushed then drops onto two cylinders, could only be a coil ) Anchored up opposite the old coast guard hut , it was very snotty and bumpy out for the whole day. One slight disappointment, the old Shetland was far better getting over the ledge , I will get used to the slamming in time or it could be I haven't got my sea legs adjusted. This weekend looks pretty good so far , only saw one other boat out today, ( charter) but not going to push my luck to push a little further out until some confidence returns.

As a non Marine Engineer you have done a great Job mate. WELL DONE YOU. I am one and feel justified to make that comment, I simply do not have time to take on these type of tasks any more, but know from past experience how difficult and time consuming it can be. Having saved a Yamaha 60 2 stroke with knackered main bearings, I hope that yours runs as well as that one did after all the work required.
