Hi Gazza, You may not believe in mumbo jumbo but probably not a good idea to change the boat's name. People in the club who have changed names have been plagued by bad luck - - - - - - - - - - - Some might argue that people who have not changed names have also been plagued by bad luck. My view - - - - - I can find plenty of bad luck without going looking for it. All the best. Jim

Or for some of us - - - - - getting anything from any boat. Hope I'll get out next week. Weather Gods permitting. Well done Kayakers. Always an interesting report. Cheers. Jim

Welcome to the club Skate n Chips ( when you join ) Jim

Good luck Cap'n Hook. ATB. Jim

Happy Birthday Mark O Aren't you Brian's son-in-law ? or am I getting myself confabulated ? ? anyway - - - - - Enjoy. Jim

Very good Dave. No good having it hanging around. Someone's got a good boat there. You kept her well maintained. Jim

I went to Holyhead to pick up Tiddler. We just made a weekend of it and called it a treat for Jacqui It's just miles - - - - - with a decent car, miles are not a problem. Jim

Speak to Arran at Absolute Aqua.co.uk Powerboat level 2 is a basic boating course for not much money. I put my 13 year old Grandson and my wife on it last year. They are now confident and competent of taking charge of my boat. If you have no experience, get out with other boaters as crew to find your sea legs. Just chip in towards their expenses for the day. There's some very experienced members willing to share their knowledge. Jim

Fantastic boat @ 16½ feet. Yes you need a braked trailer but if you have one with a flushing system for the brakes it's not a problem. I sold mine because I'm old and fat and with my dodgy knees, it was a bit too heavy for me to push around on the trailer. As Brian said, you need a decent engine. Don't let anyone tell you a 50 is big enough - - - it's not. You need a 70 to 80 so you can cruise without working the engine. They must be the most poular boat of their size in this country and with good reason. Oh yes - - - and Warrior aftersales and help are first class. Jim

My grand kids are only here for a week from next Saturday so won't be able to join in the fun. But I'd be happy to add to the prize table. I could chuck in a £20.00 voucher from a tackle shop or something. Jim

Both Rob !

Happy Birthday Jacob. Did Grandad buy you something fishy ? ? A new reel? A new Rod ? Or a secret map showing where the fish are ? ? Jim

I'm speechless ! Well done.

Go and live in Brixham. It's cheap mooring there. If you do find anything cheap ( and good ) in this area let me know ! !. Happy hunting Retro. Mine stays on a trailer because of the cost. I've thought of dry stacking ( no need for antifoul ) but even that's more than I can justify spending. Good luck. Jim

Nice !

Indeed ! - - - Happy Birthday !

Nigel ! You sounded like a TEKKIE ! ! - - - - - We'd be in a right old pickle without sons wouldn't we ? Jim

Happy Birthday Cap'n Hook. The season should be starting soon. Jim

I'm with you there mate ! Why can't we send the *()(*& home when they're caught. :angry:

Very good Paul. Jim

Nah ! Had my tickets checked this morning. . . . . . . . I'm as good at " sooth saying " as I am at Fishing Ah wel . . . . . back to work.

38 ? Blimey ! Just a Tiddler. happy birthday Ben. Jim
