Slow day for us in the bay - with good ragworm we persisted in drifting for plaice - final score 1 plaice & 2 pin whiting - good to be out but a little chilly. Early finish justified. Thanks for the company Geoff.

Jerry is going out in his new ship not sure where he is going though

Pretty sure I saw Jerry going out this morning sat between the bridges as I was heading to the office, she looks amazing on the water!

Anyone else planning to go out?

Because it’s somebody else’s job too pick it up like everything today others are responsible??

I'm using MGDuff and Tecnoseal Aluminium Anodes, boat goes back in the water on Monday 25th March. The expectation is they will last a lot longer, we shall see. Happily I can check 6 of the 8 anodes and if necessary change them without taking the boat out. There certainly is a lot of crap anodes out there, it's taking a risk using them, not something I'm prepared to do. One thing I always do is check the bonding of the anodes to the boat by using a resistance meter (should be near 0 ohm) , doesn't take long and at least you know they are properly attached. If they are electrically isolated they can't do their job. I buy the anodes from Anode Outlet, been doing that for a few years now, their website has got better and better.

Maiden voyage to day, had to run the engine for an hour no more than 2000 rpm. Next time out I've got to get her on the plane, throttle back so its on the minimum revs but still planning for another hour. Then I can go for a blast.

She will grow overnight !!!
