Turbot of 6lb and 7lb caught on the Shambles bank.

Thought the forum would find this interesting:- https://guernseypress.com/news/2020/06/18/alderney-lays-down-law-for-charter-boats/ Private boats will invariably have similar restrictions, check https://www.visitalderney.com/travel/sail-to-alderney/ for details. Certainly anyone coming ashore needs to self-isolate for 14 days at present - this applies to all the islands in the Bailiwick of Guernsey. The Bailiwick is coming out of lockdown ahead of the UK as the virus is under control here (no new cases for 48 days), with all restrictions apart from the travel one above being removed as from Saturday.

Thanks Toerag very kind of you to update us. I think that sadly we be will giving our foray over the channel a miss this year but will hopefully return next year

I make big bits of wood slightly smaller for a living. If this didn’t work first time.......

Jealous? Moi? Well done! Terry.

I also use this for the smart TV in the sitting room which is not reached by the router in my study. This is fine for things you want to plug into the system but for wifi, the discs work great, even into the garden. We obviously don't have the same structure problems you have, Lofty. Terry.

Steve, from.what I hear, you pug them in, download the app to your phone and it should be simple. (How's that for noncommittal?) R

I think I’ll get this one based on everyone’s input. Original question. Do we have anyone who can set this up? Paid obvs

Quite right Jim, it is "theoretical" speed of transfer. 3200Mbps, be lucky to have anything that can receive / transmit that sort of speed. Like our broadband, oh, 100Mbps is the slowest (and cheapest) I can get from Virgin, they tried to say I needed more! Got to be joking! 99.9% of the time, if I am downloading something, the source (say Microsoft for updates) won't let me pull updates down faster that 50Mpbs so others stand a chance. So what is the point of 100! Plus, there is something call contention, you share your "speed" with you neighbours. Yes you can get 100Mpbs now, but not if they all start using the internet heavily too, this is why we see slowdowns. If you want un-contended connection, then Pay £200 a month not £20! Contentions ratios use to be 50:1, the I think 20:1, not sure what they are now, but they will be. (20 'houses' share the theoretical 50/70/100 Mbps that your provider say you have at your fingertips). So, a 4K (ultra HD) film from Amazon online recommends a 15Mbps connection. Easy test for broadband speed is to use https://speedtest.net Best to get the results from a wired device / computer or laptops. Be ok on a modern mobile with their app on 5Ghz WiFi close to your router . R

Got out at about 09:30 and headed for Southbourne. Water quite flat so could go quite quickly. Found a few waves so dropped back to 22 MPH. Stopped and drifted near cafe area but nothing but a couple of Mackerel. Lofty called for any Poole bay boats. He said they were doing OK further up so went over to join him & Dave. They were anchored so I moved away as I wanted to drift. The wind was changing direction from ESE to S which made it hard to plan the drifts to avoid bouys and kayaks but just kept my eye on it as well as the three rods. Plenty of fog around the cruise ships which were moored up due to corona virus but we didn't get much of it. I was catching a steady stream of Mackerel so that was good. Had a very big take on one of the other rods but missed that one. Mick tried to radio me but I didn't hear him. I'll try to remember to put my radio up on the rod tubes whilst fishing so I get better range. Great day to be afloat. Tiddler_June_2020_Low_Res.mp4
