10 minutes ? I'm impressed Adam. I don't suppose you fancy coming and doing a demo on Small Fry do ya ? I'll provide the tea & sandwiches. It'd probably be finished by the time I'd boiled the kettle.

Small Fry has a few Rust stains. The first owners used a few cheap bolts. I'll give this stuff a try. Thanks Paul.

You owe me a Beer.

People do say that it's unlucky to change the name of a boat, Walk under a ladder, go to the pub on Friday the 13th etc. etc. etc. Are you superstitious ? I had Small Fry's name done by Ressell Hamilton at Elite Signs. Blandford Road near the lifting bridge. 33 Blandford Road Poole, BH15 4AT 01202 674496 www.elitesigns.biz I was very happy with the service and would use them again. Jim

Thanks. Until now if I wanted to find a wreck, I had to go to Trent's Cheers. Jim

Jacquie is always stuck for Ideas for Christmas. I think a decent book is called for. One I can take out on Small Fry with me, and use as a reference. Thanks for the useful info Lads. Jim

Make sure I don't spill it Rob !

Jacquie thought they could keep an eye out for Witches at this time of the year.

Happy Birthday Paul.

I hope she doesn't see this, or you will be battered.

Happy Birthday Mick All the fours - - - - - Droopy Draws. Have a couple for me.

Thanks for the report Craig. Good pictures. Well Done. Jim

Welcome Mark and James.

Under your Rubber rubbing strip, at the aft - starboard. Will be your serial number. Phone Warrior 01772459666 and quote the serial no. They should be able to help. I have always found them really helpful. Good luck. Jim

Welcome Ben. Did your Dad not pay for the Family Membership. Jim

This could start people complaining that they should be allowed to fish from Tender sized dinghies, as long as they're in pairs. Have fun with the wording chaps. Jim

Happy Birthday Andy. Jim

Carefull Paul, If Rob Francis is watching, He'll be quoting you too. Jim

I would bloody love to Charlie. Unfortunately, I've just had a week in Cornwall, then went to the Boat Show. Now I have Drains to dig at my Mother-in Law's. I would love to come along another time though. Jim

Bloody shame. A very rare sight around here. Jim

I have very limited experience in this matter. All I can say is that I have Lowrance GPS and Fish Finder and have been very pleased with them. My setup was 2 years old when I bought it and developed a problem a few months later. I spoke to the area rep, Mike Hall. He was in the area the following week and came and replaced the faulty part and fitted new leads. All he charged me was a cup of tea. I was looking at the new systems at the weekend. Very impressive, I thought. You can also download emulators. So you can run a replica on your computer to learn how to use it / or see if you like it. Jim

We've all heard a whisper Now ! Don't know who, what or when though.

Congrats Colin. I'll google chetah and take a butchers. Jim

Welcome to the club Alan. I wonder how long it'll be before you start spending and buy a bigger boat once the bug bites ? Jim

I would have thought using two anchors anywhere but slow running water would be unsafe. I intend to use two when floundering etc. I imagine you could drop the rear anchor, motor over the top of your " spot " and keep going a bit further, paying out line as you go. Then drop the forward anchor, Drift back to your "spot" and pay out line until you get there. Then pull in the slack on the rear one. Or have I got it all wrong. Jim
