Almost, it's actually on the boat but one more item is required to complete. Hopefully this will be done Monday with sea trial when weather allows Martin But you go out ALL weathers Martin. ( Well almost ) Hope all goes well. Jim

Wow ! That's what I thought as I zipped out from Poole Harbour today. My engine's done the " run in " and today was my first chance to " give it some " and see what the Tidler could do on a flat sea. 30 knots or 34.5 mph ! ! ! She sits beautifully on the water too. I did a bit of fishing and caught my ususal . . . . .nowt ! The day was all about me getting used to my boat. Well -- - - - -I'm in love. It's wicked. Saw Stuie in the harbour and after a chat, he took some pictures of the Tiddler in action. I'm hoping he'll post a few on here. This probably reads like an advert or sales pitch. I'm just chuffed. Stopped for a chat with the skipper of Kelly's Hero on the way back through Holes Bay. Then saw Martin at Cobb's slipway. A very good day to be out, and a lovely boat to be afloat on. Jim

Happy Birthday Rob. Have an Extra piece of Cake. Jim

B'Stards ! ! ! ! Jim

Excellent ! ! ! Jim

we saw you re anchoring a few times, but didn't know it was you. There were loads of boats out there ( Tony counted 50 )and hardly any radio chatter so we didn't know who was who. I suppose nobody wanted to say how well they were doing in fear of being swamped by other boats coming to nick their fish. Jim

They phoned me on Saturday saying I had a virus on my computer. I stayed on the line for ages pretending to switch on my " slow computer " They wanted me to press the " Windows and Alt key " Then they asked what I could see. I said " a bunch of fairies dancing around the garden " When I said the call was costing me nothing and I was happy to talk crap all day ( yes Rob ) they hung up. " F " them ! ! Jim

Just on the off chance. My brother needs a Frail. I didn't know until the other day, but that frame on the side of a window company van for carrying glass etc. is called a Frail, and My Brother needs one. Does anyone have or know of one that's available. Jim

Again James, your skill pays off ! What a Belter ! ! ! Jim

Happy Birthday John. Jim

Gorgeous Boat - - - - - - - Ugly bloke Sorry you're selling Derek. Upsizing - - - Downsizing - - - or giving up boat owning ? ? ? Jim

They are Indeed ! Jim

I have a Navionics Gold card for this area on SD not Micro SD are you sure you need a Micro SD ? ? I may be persuaded to part with it if my palm is crossed with enough "coin of the realm" I bought it about 3 years ago from Piplers - - - -about

I might even get Tiddler out. I desperate to see what she'll do now the engine's run in. I may even catch a fish or two. Jim

Tell him the lads at PBSBAC are " Well Impressed " Superb fish for anyone, never mind a Kayak. Jim

Welcome to the Club Peter. Nothing wrong with " Fluff Chucking " PJ does very nicely at it ! Have you heard of the " New member " rule ? ? ? you have to buy beer & cakes at your first club meeting - - - - - - for anyone called JIM Jim

Same as mine Mick. Or should I say Mines the same as yours. ( You had yours first ) Quite a nice little unit. Jim

Rob, You're just so Polite ! ! I won't say any more. I may be arrested for obscene language. Jim

Jacqui's sister did us a tray of chicken & veg. She covered it in foil, put newspaper under it and said " be careful it's prety full ". I put it in the rear footwell of my car ( still hot ). Yes - - - - - - it went everywhere. Smelled lovely for a couple of days Then it smelled horrible. I've scrubbed and washed and scrubbed and washed and scrubbed and washed and scrubbed and washed. Then I got the carpet up a bit and flushed water through and mopped it out - - - - - about 5 times. I've got the carpet wedged up in the air to help dry it out at the mo. It's nearly O.K. but I quite fancy the Vinegar option if it still smells in a week or so Is your BUM sore from kicking youself Dave ? ? ? Mine is ! ! The car's only 12 months old too. Oh Well ! ! ! ! ! Jim

Well done Will. I'll go and put the Chip Pan on Jim

Yep ! Well done Will. I bet Tom Raider's kicking himself for not entering. Jim

Don't point that camera at me while I'm squinting. The sun's in my eyes ! ! ! And I don't care if it's November - - - - -I'm not wearing my coat ! ! !

I'm not taking my coat off. It's November you know !

I met up with Dave ( Wight Magic ) & Cap

I DO like a story with a happy ending ! ! ! Very pleased for you Graham. You must be like a dog with two tails. Jim Oh yes - - - - your radio works fine ! ! !
