Yes Nige. I need to check some sizes and if Ineed to, I'll get busy on the poota and create something new. I can lay a 3D model on top of a photo of the boat to get a feel for the finished article. Wonderful these pooters y'know. Jim

I'll look into that Rob. Thanks. Jim

Here's my new little baby. Jim

you must have the most understanding missus ever!! I certainly have Graham ! ! She's only got one fault - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Her choice in Men. Thanks for the wishes ( And banter ) Jim Grandkids here next week.

New Boat. I now have a new boat. Westport Pilot4 Honda 50 package. What a superb little boat ! Still not finalised the name yet, but Jacqui is rather keen on Tidler. Looking forward to getting out for a zip around in it. Jim

Happy Birthday Steve. Jim

Maybe it's just a dodgy camera. I use a similar one to make me look slim. Jim

Good on yer Terry. Jim

Welcome Tom. Jim

Had hoped to get it this weekend, but Mr. Indespension is letting the side down a bit. We'll See Jim

Yup !

Get a grip man !! I was launching and recovering Otter single handed, all 21 ft and 2.3 tonnes of her. Just had to pick the slip and time a bit. It's the use of the word " WAS " there Trev. I " Was " slim and fit at one time and could have easily done it myself too. Jim Was as in I have a mooring now And on the second count..................... I also beat anorexia good and proper Yes Trev, I'm Semi Bulimic - - - - - - I eat and eat and eat and make everybody else sick. Jim

Did you intend that one Trev ? Trying to catch a few Bums eh ? ? ? Jim

No Rob, but if it's easier and quicker to launch then I may get out more often. If I don't, it'll be a lovely Garden Ornament Jim

She was " chuckable " Graham but on overweight, unfit bloke with knackered knees struggled at baiter. Besides - - - I used womens' logic. It's easier to buy a shiney new one than clean the old one. Jim

New Pilot more expensive than 7 year old Small fry. Jim thee must be some logic there somewhere Did you read the text on the picture Graham ? " I wanted something chuck innable and chuck outable " Jim

Made I Laugh ! Jim

Compost eh ? ? Yes I hope to get out much more with this one Martin. Did you look at the write ups ? One done out of Poole by BFM. Links on Westport marine's website. Jim

You ARE funny Rob ! IT bloke - - - - Busy ? How hard can it be - - Turn it off - - - - - - - Turn it back on again - - - -Job Done ! ! Good names though Jim

Thanks for the help folks. Jacqui and Myself nipped into Bournemouth Canoes on sat afternoon. Brother-in-law's working 7 days a week at the mo, but hoping for some free time soon. Jim

Thanks Mike. Thanks Dave. Jim

No - One got a kayak for sale then ? What sort of kit would be the Basic beginners Kayak kit ? Kayaking only - - not fishing. Jim

Thank you all for your witty suggestions. I intend using this one though ! ! ! Jim ( Rob's been very QUIET ) If he was a child, I'd say he was up to something
