Sad to see her go Brian. 😪 Happy times for your wallet though. No point keeping her if you don't get the use. 🙂

Good luck with the sale Brian. I expect she'll be gone soon. I hope she stays local. I was gob smacked at the new price of a basic Warrior package at last year's boat show. 👍

I had one and regret selling it.

Sad that you're selling Brian. ☹️ I was talking to Gummage last night about Warriors. Mr. Gummage if you are serious about a proper boat then I can not recommend Megabyte enough. I strongly suggest that you negotiate a deal with Brian. This boat has been loved and looked after. And they hold their price!. End of Spouting session. 👍 I'll shut up now.

It's my AGE Martin. Yes you did indeed. We got your species count up between us! You had all those fish and I had a Duck. 😀 (Again)

Another fine day out on Madness, Same old, Same old! All I had all day was small Bream robbing my bait. Martin had ½ a dozen ish Plaice. 4 of which were Keepers, which being the Gent that he is he shared with Me. He also had 2 small Bream, and 2 Gurnard. (And almost some Mackerel) which got off the lazy line before he could put his other rod down. 😪 I got scorched by the Sun. It was a lovely day afloat. Such a real treat. Thank you again Martin for a very enjoyable day. 👍

As they say un the US: You bet your sweet Bippy! 😄

Jackie told me not to be silly and go fishing. Ohhhhhhhhhh alright then! ! ! 😃 Another day out on Madness. Yippppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 😆

Normally I'd have jumped at that Martin but can't this weekend. 👍 Sunday is already booked.

Morning All, We were on top of Old Harry yesterday about 11:00 - 11:30 ish. I saw a Targa drifting out there then it headed out to sea. Then I saw a Warrior type (maybe Endeavour) heading back towards Poole. My eyes are not what they were. Was the Targa you . . . Steve. . or. . . Oli? Anyone from the club?

Jackie's off work this week. We're having our holiday from home as it's so nice in Dorset. Days out walking, Eating out etc. So no boating, computing, carving etc. Just chilling. Luuuuuuuvly ! A day out fishing would be great but not easy while Jackie's still at work. A day out with Colin & Gummage sounds a great laugh. I'm surprised someone hasn't taken them up on the offer.

I'd love to but can't

Thanks Martin. Glad you like it.

Yeah! Mugging old ladies for the price of a packet of fags. 🤣

Thanks all. Not sure what the wood is. We think maybe Oak or Holm Oak. I picked it up one day whilst out with Daisy. My contact details are on the back.

Nothing to do with fishing. Been working on this a long time and posting here to show one of the reasons I don't go fishing very often. I took 750 pictures, created a 3D model, trimmed it and filled in holes. Passed it through several bits of software. And created this: As you can tell, I'm rather proud of it. I have donated it to Upton House and I think it'll go in the visitor centre. 👍

Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to Mick Happy Birthday to you A very happy Birthday Mick. I hope you're on the mend. Be as naughty as you want today. 😉

Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to Dan Happy Birthday to you Enjoy your special day.

This is how it finished up! 🙂 I'm pleased with it.

Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to Alun Happy Birthday to you Lovely day for it. Any plans besides nipping out fishing ? Enjoy your day.

I've got a dog Trev. Nowhere near as expensive, Good exercise, & I catch just as many fish as I did when I had my boat. . . . . . . . None! 🤣

Thanks Martin. I want to improve it before finding a suitable piece of wood to carve it on. Just need more time. 😉 Looks as though my freelance CAD stuff is drying up now. They've taken on 2 new staff in that dept. so I should have more free time. (Just less money) 🤣

Thanks Charlie. If it keeps chucking it down I'll see if I can improve it. If it turns nice I'm not going to be sitting in my office. 👍 😄

Thanks for the comments Gents. It took hours to get that far but still could be better. (I think) 😉
