It was noted Mal that both of you forgot to share the fuel bill. 😂😂😂😂😂👍

Was that for the heater Chris??

Morning all. I know that a number of you took part in the flounder competition yesterday morning run from Salterns. Thanks for your support and a good amount was raised which is greatly appreciated. Somewhat ironically at 0900 the lifeboat launched to a fishing boat in the harbour entrance with engine failure - not sure whether this boat was taking part in the competition but it seemed somewhat appropriate/ironic! All was fine and the vessel was towed to Fishermans Dock. Also thanks to Salterns for hosting and Poole Dolphins SAC for hosting/arranging. If there is ever a group of you that would like to visit the Station and get a tour of the new Boathouse you'd be most welcome. If you email Ali O'Neill that co-ordinates these visits then she and her team would be delighted to sort a time/date.

Thanks to Chris for taking on such a long journey, the tide planning and weather checks necessary are very demanding😂. The chilli was superb and very welcome on a chilly day, lots of tea and good company. 4 fish on Kingfisher, 1 weighed in for me 2lb 7oz. 2 fish to Nigel. A well attended weigh in at Cobbs and generally a good vibe. More flounders caught than I expected but still lots of time with no bites.

Seen this website: https://www.gonefishingboatclub.com/ Looks pretty much good value - esp if 2 guys pay as 1 user (apparently that is allowed). Boats in Hamble, Hayling and shortly Cobb's. £199 anytime £149 weekdays £269 summer £129 winter Booking is 24/7 and and members can only have so many dates in the calendar and once back you can book again. Not sure how that works but sounds sensible. R

If you let him know when the travelers arrive he could just park close by,cheap holiday.

you lot probably ate more calorific energy that diesel energy burnt! maybe get some oars and rollocks, so nect time you can burn off at least part of your breakfast. Rob

Then there are no charges either 😎

Well done to all and a big thank you to everyone for supporting this the first RNLI open flounder comp.

Well done to Bobby and everyone who caught fish, a challenging day day worth the effort. I was sorry not to be out on Stingray, get well soon Neal and thanks for your hostility last night 😊. Thanks to Martin and Dean stepping in at the last minute to give me a ride. Two Breakfasts Terry.
