There are a few things that make sea sickness worse Hangovers, Tiredness, Alcohol, Fizzy drinks, overheating and staring at the bottom of a rocking boat. Charlie you know me so well Dave

Took a couple of friends out for a days fishing today. Phil is a keen freshwater angler but has done a little bit of sea fishing before. Darren is not an angler but was keen to give it a try. Lazy start out through the 9:30 bridge lift from Holes Bay out into a fresh breezy bay. The tides were large today so decided to stay inshore. Our first stop was at Poole patch. Lots of small bream and mini conger up to 8lb. SIFCA fisheries boat came alongside for a chat helmed by an ex club member Dave Mayne. After a quick chat they went off to their next victim 😄 The guests were looking a little green but adamant they wanted to stay out. A move was called for so down to Southbourne Rough for more of the same ie bream and slimeys. by now Darren was looking not to good so I decided a return to the harbour was called for where we had more mini bream plus loads of weed. Gave up and came back in thought the 15:30 lift. Whilst the old Poole bridge was midway through lifting some idiot thought it would be a good idea to jump the barrier and make his way up the Poole side leaf with a view to jumping to the other leaf. The bridge operator was not a happy bunny giving the offender short shrift though the tanoy. The guy bottled out of jumping and made his way back to civilisation. Well that made the day more interesting lol. Back on the berth the boat was given a quick wash down then into the bar for a beer. Both guests said they enjoyed the day and were up for another go at a later date

There are a few things that make sea sickness worse Hangovers, Tiredness, Alcohol, Fizzy drinks, overheating and staring at the bottom of a rocking boat. and a few to make it better. avoid alcohol before and during, try to sleep well prior, drink water/tea, stay in the fresh air looking at the horizon and stay busy. But the one that worked best for Dan, [who suffered regularly when young] was snacking on ginger biscuits He has not been sick for years, but still enjoys a ginger nut onboard

That's the one Mick. 😉 Actually I'm getting more used to it now and happy to make coffees etc. 🙂 I'll have to remind him so he takes me out soon. ( I wouldn't want to relapse) 🤣

I did wonder why I make all the coffee

Up for sale is my Sib Rib with very low hours on the engine and boat. I bought this from a friend who lost confidence in the boat, after a scare where he slightly caught the prop in the silt. The 20hp Honda engine at a guess has done less than 15 hours running time. I have the cable to connect the engine at Honda for a serious buyer to check the hours. Engine flushed and boat washed after every use and kept at home under cover. The rib comes with trailer, pump, engine mount trolley for easy transportation, full aluminium inner floor, fuel tank and connecting pipe. Ready to go fishing with rod holders that are removable and anchor with new rope of approximately 180ft with chain. Reason for sale is that I have access to a much larger boat and do not use it. feel free to contact me for pictures, couldn't upload them to my old computer. Mobile 07384010881 £4200 O.N.O
