I'm intending to do something of a report of the event to send to the fishing mags. Hopefully winners with their flounders 🤞.

Hi, Norman is joining Loobie 1V as Brian has dropped out, apologies to those who wanted to join us but he got in first. I understand those who made it to the Christmas meeting welcomed Chris’s thoughts that the Flounder Comp will run on Sunday from 8am until 3pm. I will be outside the marina office with scales at 3.30 if people can aim for that.This allows time for boats to get back to Cobb’s, wash down and weigh in. And maybe even have a beer!!!!! Good luck and looking forward to seeing everyone on Sunday. Jerry

Looking forward to it and a very generous offer of the beer for us all. 😊 Terry.

Maybe a bit soft for our kayak hero, perhaps he could sit on the bathing platform with his feet in the water. 😉 Terry.

Has Jerry still got a space?

Just seen the weather so I’ll be bowing out. High of 1 degree is too cold for me. Good luck the rest Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Marichelle not in competition this year......helping daughter move... Will miss all the piss taking!!😉 Good luck all.

After dropping anchor I have my rope up to the bow and dropped over the bollard and over the bow roller. Then attached to the stbd side midships cleat. When we want to go the rope is cast off at the front and we back off, the bow goes to port and we can see the rope and drive off at 90 degrees to it, before swinging up tide. when the anchor is under the buoy we set up to drift back towards it whilst recovering rope. This system is great for the larger boats, but not recommended for smaller boats to be tide side on to the tide.

Personally the one I use has a shorter warp as what I have had on occasions if there is a swell, the buoy has gone the wrong side of the bow. What I do as I think others do too is go astern before going forward, just gives abit more space between boat and anchor rope/buoy.
