Charlie as others have said you and your crew are tops but it goes to show that even the best can and do get caught out, now you know why I love to buddy Dave on White Magic as he is a man that can be trusted and will put others safety first and the fishing second. So glad you all returned safe and well. Dave you are a true ambassador to this club as I know how hard you tried to help Nigel, when he lost his engine, and the time I made the call as I lost my power steering and you were along side in no time.

Congratulations Rob & family Craig & Jackie

Neil personnes Bristol devrait pas besoin de passeport pour visiter n'importe quel pays de notre place et que pour le pont, que cela d

Adam I would love to make this trip as I know you may need an interpreter and as everyone knows I speak fluent French, but I don

What a great weekend yet again in very good company a great time and great food. I thought the starter at the Harbour Lights was lovely (thanks to Terry for all his hard work) we had a great crack mainly at my expense and some good fish, my son and I bagged 12 Turbot largest to Ashley 7lb 2 Pollock. The only downside was the crossing and THE return home was 7 hours of hell , at no time was I concerned over our safety as I have every confidence in Abode I really believe its not only the size of your boat but size to weight ratio. Abode only weighs 1.5 ton and she tries to sit on the top all the time and in big seas its hard work, I could have Easily kept up with others but that would have made it even worse for my son and I, as we left the harbour I made the decision to plod home 7 8 knots but for seven hours it was no fun, would I go again YES YES but only on a better forecast. Abode used 88 ltrs for the trip over and the afternoon on the banks. The full day on the banks we used 33ltrs Saturday and the return trip we used 94 ltrs Total 215ltrs so pretty good I think. PS if any one now requires French lessons I am now fluent as proven on the jetty with the Chapman family. Also would like to thank our new chairman Tony for the speech and presentation of the trophy which I have now back in my possession. And the last thanks goes to every skipper and crew for their constant update on the weather and their concerns for our safety TA! Craig

Abode will be at the 6.30 bridge lift yep pee
