Hi Rich, Welcome to the Club. Jim

Perhaps the weather is Female ! ! If so she could change her mind many more times before the weekend. Jim

I hope to Trev. I'd like to try for some Bass at some stage. Jacqi's cracked ribs are improving so I may even have a Galley Slave with me. Jim

Oh yeah ! I forgot to say - - - - Just paid for a year's Cobb's slipway pass so hoping to get out a bit more. Jim

Saw Mr. & Mrs. Mal Thomas at the show. They said they saw me over Christchurch in Tiddler. I wasn't there so it seems we may have been naughty and nicked someone elses Name. Oops ! Oh well, we're not gonna change it. Jim Cheers for the photo Chris.

Thanks Tony & Martin. Good of you to use the trick lens to make me look fat. Jim

Don't stretch the FPO's purse too far. Leave enough for some INSURANCE. Good luck. Jim

Alas, It seems times are hard and there's no jobs out there so they have to steal to put food on the table. Perhaps a nice little swim with some dolphins will show them the error of their ways. Sorry for you Tomo. Jim

I hope you win it Bob See you at the weigh in. Jim

Very Sorry. Jim

Thanks for that Graham. The Cat Stephen bit threw me at first. . . . . I thought he was gonna burst into song ! I knew Cinders hadn't been out for a while - - - - I often see her sisters out on the Quay on Friday Nights. Jim

Welcome Gordon. Jim

Hi Rob, Have you been on a boat with an E-Tec ? They are very good y'know. Having said that, this Honda is very smooth and quiet. You're right about the bling though ! - - - - I don't half miss them Rod Holders. I'll have to get busy " Conjuring " Cheers Matey. Jim

Not out Saturday Brian, But went out on Sunday to get some hours on the engine. Lovely boat, Lovely engine. On the rare ocasions that we get a calm sea, It'll fly. It was quite lumpy outside of the harbour yesterday but she was happy enough at 16 to 18 knots. Then nipped over to the Family Day. The chapman boys ( and a young lady ) went swimming Serenity was hosing a Bar-B. Thanks Lorraine for feeding me I left early to get some more hours on my engine, but by the time I got back to the harbour entrance, it had got quite " snotty " so I thought I would get back to Cobb's to miss the busy bit ( wrong ) Although it was busy, it was quite orderly and I don't think I made too much of a hash of it ( first time out ) ( and on my own too ). My thoughts so far - - - - - - - It's not a Warrior, but for ease of launching and retrieval and general handling etc. It's Wicked ! ! ! Jim

Happy Birthday Dan. Just a baby yet. A long way behind Martin & Me Jim

We've not seen much of Bob recently so I suppose we should've expected it. He's a true Gent and I miss seeing him at the meetings. Send him my best please Adam As for JV, That sounds like a cracking deal for someone. Good luck in finding a suitable partner. Cheers. Jim

Here she is folks. Remember me saying something about " Dogs and Dangly bits ? " What a little Belter! I need to get busy on a design for some rod tubes now. I need a favour. Anyone who's going on the family day, - - - - - - - Please take lots of photos of Tiddler. We always struggle to get photos of our boats on the water. Thanks in advance. Jim

He can borrow my trailer foc now, which hopefully will be sat around for 360 days of the year doing absolutely naff all. What a WICKED Club ! ! ! Jim

Are you sure Brian ? How will you be able to get Megabyte home to do your tinkering ? ( I mean Essential Maintainance ) Polishing etc. Extra little Add-Ons etc ? ? ? ? ? Jim

O.K. then - - - - If we're being SILLY - - - - - I found it A-Moo-sing Jim

Welcome to the Club Malcolm. Jim

Hi Graham, Seasparkle knows someone. Send him a PM Jim

Thanks Trev, Rob & Jamie. Jim

Thanks Charlie. Jim

My friend is looking fo a swinging Mooring for a 25 foot yacht in Poole Harbour. It's quite old so cheap and cheerful would be fine. ( is there such a thing in Poole ? ) Anyone got any contact phone numbers please ? Jim
