Awol looked great. I could only see her from the back and I said to Jacqui that I thought it was you. I know you always keep to the speed limit, but it did look good heading out. Jim

Well done you two. I was up at Rockley view point with Jacqui and her Dad this morning 09:45 - - - 10:00 ish. I saw a boat heading out and thought it was you. Did you have a lie - in for Father's day ? ? Jim

He has Martin - - - - and emptied them too ! It looks OK now. Thanks for sorting it Martin. Jim

This is a test. Paul D has asked me to post this to check my settings.

That looks Nice ! Not too far to go and view it. Worth a phone call and a drive over !

I have just fitted some rod holders to Tiddler. I have some bits left over. Someone was after some bits a while ago. They're free to anyone who wants them. I can't upload a picture. The site keeps saying I can't upload more than 10K ? ? ? ? I've installed the latest Flash Player. Could someone check this please ? Jim

I was lucky enough to be invited to help with " safety boat " duties on AWOL. I arrived at Rockley just before 9:30. My Dad was already there getting AWOL ready. As I loaded my gear I heard " tea or coffee ". Now let's think about this - - - - - - Gorgeous morning with hardly any breeze, One of the best club boats and a great skipper offering me a cuppa when I arrive. - - - - - Magic ! We set off through the harbour at a gentle pace. We could just about hear Charlie on the radio. Martin asked about the mackerel and we were reassured that they have finally come in ! As we reached the chain ferry, we spoke to Neal who also confirmed that the mackies were in. He had taken up position on the western side of Swanage bay. We nipped out for a few mackerel before taking up our position on the Eastern side of the bay. Martin was into the bream straight away. We had a steady stream of bream ( mostly to Martin ) until the tide died away then so did the fish. We didn't get called upon for any safety duties but Neal was asked a few times to help with stuck anchors. I heard a young voice shout " Dolphins " Kev's grandson ( Yelo ) was letting us know about our visitors. I have never seen the dolphins around here so I was delighted ! It's a shame they were so far away. When the bream were having their siesta and we had been " stood down " from safety duties we moved further out to try for a few Rays. No joy there ! Martin asked if I was up for a quick go on Poole patch - - - - - so off we went. We had quite a few bites but only one fish to Martin. We decided to go home and leave some fish for Chris ( kingfisher ) We took about 35 seconds to reach the chain ferry ( or it seemed like it ) what a great boat ! ! ! Oh yes, Lots of cuppas and sausage and bacon butties. Glad the Kayak meet went so well and happy to be available to help. Two sports boats came ploughing through at speed and some of the language used on the radio was a little less than " full of praise " Thanks for a cracking Day out Martin. Jim

Just Youtubed it. 70 Hp on one of those eh Neal ? Scary ! Jim

I'm looking forward to retirement. All that free time - - - - - Go fishing anytime etc. etc. Jim

Nice One Chris. Jim

Very Good Brian. Not been out then ? ? ? ?
