Thanks for another great day to Dave - Wight Magic. I got my first Tope ( Wicked ). I phoned my Grandkids and told them " Grandad's just caught a Shark " They were WELL impressed. I'll try to post a few pictures. Craig, PM Me your email address and I'll send some photos ( full size ) of Abode 11

Be very careful on Baiter. It's supposed to be blowing a hooley tomorrow. You probably know this, but I'll stress it anyway . . . Never place yourself in the boat's path. If the wind / tide are blowing across the slip . . stand in an " upstream position " so that if a wave hits the boat, it could be snatched from your hands . . . not thrown ontop of you. Trapped between a bouncing boat and a concrete surface and underwater is not a good place to be. Take care if you go tomorrow. Jim

Thanks Charlie. I'll probably see you out there.

Thanks for the phone call Dave. I'll be glad to come out on Wight Magic. I was beginning to get a chemical imballance in my head, It's been so long since I've had my Rod in my Hand. I can't move Small Fry at the moment. ( Too much crap in the drive ). See ya Saturday. Jim

Missed out this time. Thanks for the offer Charlie. I'd love to come out another time. I'll be watching ! Cheers. Jim

I will indeed Charlie, Thanks. Jim

I would like a trip on Alfresco, Charlie. Jim

Watch out for the Crocky Diles Sounds like a Once - in - a Lifetime Trip. Enjoy yourself. Jim

AAAAAAAAARRRRGGGHHHHHHH ! !

Phew ! er..... er....

Ah ! ! If life could only be so pleasant. Mind you, is there an age limit for the women ? The thought of my Mother in Law parading around naked is a bit un-nerving. It's bad enough her flying around on the Nimbus 2000 at this time of the year

Nobody seems to know Brian ! I need to get some decent snaps of Small Fry on the water before I can upload any.

Quote: Gaffa. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rail-Mount-Rod-Holde...id=p3286.c0.m14 That's the one that Gazza showed me. I'm gonna try to come up with something similar, but a bit cheaper. Jim

No Cod but still a good day out James. Cracking pictures and a good report. I do admire you kayakers. ( that doesn't mean I'm gonna buy one ). Jim

Always up for a challenge Gary, I'll pop over and get it. You have a PM Jim

Gary, You can buy the plastic ones for about 12 quid each. If you have something a bit special in mind, can you email some sort of rough sketch? I'll try to knock up a 3D model and send you photos. Oops ! looks like one for Rob Francis Jim

Mike, Club member ( Cullodon ) Tony O'Callaghan, Robton Engineering Balena Close, Creekmoor, Poole. 01202 697469 tony@robton.co.uk They made mine, ( see picture ) and happy to measure up and quote any style. They have been making stainless boat bits for many years. And soon to have a sponsored ad on our site. Jim

At Last ! Got the trailer all sorted then Dan ! I bet it's really dragged. Good luck for Friday. Jim

Good post Mark, I should think there will be a lot of kayakers waiting to hear how it performs. Well Done.

Dave, It's Rob Francis that's the Demon Quoter. ( When he's not otherwise engaged as Master of the Molds ) Jim

Mark, I have a lowrance GPS. I bought a " Nautic Path " north - west europe card about a year ago from Piplers in Poole. It was just shy of a ton. I don't really know much about them, but it does seem to contain a lot of detail and seems very accurate when I zoom in. I think it shows all of Britain and a lot of the Med. I expect someone will correct any errors I have made. Jim

Martin, You have surpassed yourself. You got me on every question, so I asked the one with a brain and she got exactly the same answers ! ! ! I did like mary's sister Nunu ! Jim
