Maybe it died in shock of being used Jim! [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

Nothing to do with Fishing but . . . . . . . . . . I like it! Just need to learn how to use it. (Different operating system) Ah well. . . . . Back to school.

I'm envious. Not of the tool, but of the space that you have that's big enough to put something in. My work shop if you can call it that is the size of my shed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Glad it turned up ok

Well, I can confirm that Jersey Girl was fine whilst being bollocked by HMS Ledbury at the Overfalls today. No electrical gremlins, just a flea in my ear for getting too close to their live firing exercises 😬💥

Nice Dog ! Wareham river too.

It has but only for a few short hours lol The story was that we were fishing a mark called the rips which are about 26 miles out from Poole. We had got there ok with all our electrics working normally however the weather suddenly deteriorated so we decided to about turn and make our way back. At this time our plotter X2 went down and left us with a totally blank screen we also couldn't use the auto pilot. I didn't have a clue what was wrong. Checked connections which were ok, checked trips which were ok and being electrically illiterate at that point I gave up and made a heading at 150 knowing we would hit land and find our way back. Looking around we spotted a naval ship in the distance, it came, it went. After it had gone 3 or 4 miles all our electrics came back to life and back to normal. I can only assume that the amount of power their radar emits blanked out our electrics.

That said don't get in the immediate vicinity of a man of war when they are using their radar on full power, I could tell a little story about that but I have had a couple of glasses of wine

Post a picture of your Racing Slick haircut Steve! That'll get a few votes.
