I suspect that if no boats are waiting to come in they won`t lift old bridge first, glad my boat goes under both bridges when down,all i need now is a space on F pontoon to be available. boats just sitting on drive waiting.

Well played Wales. Great match even on just highlights. Did watch some of the post match interview with Eddie, he looked upset. Lol

Thank you Brian. That makes sense. BCP has an over spend of about £40 million at the moment, so they can’t afford any more expenditure with the Twin Sales. Oh well, looks like they will be going bankrupt soon then with that useless piece of s**t.

You've got it right, It's the way it used to be from 13:30 onwards. It's to spare the Twin Sails the stress of 2 lifts.

Hang on a minute, let me try and understand this:- Reading the above, if I was coming out of cobbs for the 07.30 bridges, Poole Old Town bridge will lift for incoming traffic at 07.30, then close and soon after the Twin Sales will lift. I then go into the basin and then the Twin Sales Bridge closes. Then soon after this Poole Old Town Bridge will Open to let me out...... Have I got this right????? Can anyone help me out here 😬

'Well his boats on fire and he's only got an 8" landing net.......and look at the state of his coffee mug!!' were my first words to Chris (my son) when stepping on board Loobie IIII. Luckily the smoke turned out to be the cabin heating firing up for the first time this autumn and the landing net turned out to be for the live bait tank (what do we know!! 😂). A kind invite from Jerry saw us on C pontoon for 7am Saturday. A glorious morning with much lighter winds than forecast.....t shirt weather by about 11am. What a boat! I had to keep checking we were actually doing 20knots as it felt so smooth and quiet. We headed out for a drift for bass in swanage bay but things weren't happening and what wind there was was over tide making it lumpy. So plan B and anchoring on a bank for the morning. Once the tide turned we had a steady flow of species......8 in total. The best being bream to 2lb 1oz and smoothhound to 6lb 2oz. A move after lunch took us to another bank and Jerry taught us the fine art of uptiding which produced a number of rays, not weighed but the best probably around 10lb. It was probably an average day for you Jerry but it was a great one for us so thank you very much for the invite. If you'll have us back I promise Chris won't wash your reels down with the salt water hose or spill coffee granules everywhere 🤣

It was great to have you onboard!!!! In my defence i did say bring your own mugs!! I think getting Chris to do a thesis on how saltwater affects metallic material would be good!!

I use 12mm on Madness so would say 12mm would be more than thick enough for your boat and 16mm definitely is overkill. I reckon if you had 10mm rode you could fit a full 220m coil in your locker. Sorry no rope left from s/ton uni we must of had around 12/14 drums of the stuff over the years. They used it to lay expensive equipment on the sea bed and said it was to expensive to retest for insurance purposes. Also they couldn't sell it due to liability risks so gave it to us, some looked brand new. Brought it all back in my van 2/3 drums at a time.
