Happy Birthday Charlie & Dave. I hope you both have a " goodun " Beer & Cake and plenty of rest.

I'm looking for a crewing space for next Sunday. Anyone got room for an old fat fella ? Jim

If you find one let me know Trev. I don't think there's such a thing around here

Happy Birthday John

Welcome Tim. Lofty's our Kayak rep. so I suppose he'll contact you. Were you at last month's meeting ? Or am I getting confuddled in me old age ? Jim

How did you get that ? ? ? ? I phoned and asked for one when I became 60 and they told me they'd stopped doing it until you reach retirement age. ? ? ? / The swines ! ! ! Where's the fun in being old if there's no PERKS ? ? ? Jim

Happy Birthday Fred. Forget the Beer & Cake ! Treat yourself to a Fish & Chip supper ! ! Nah ! Beer & Cake every time Jim

Happy Birthday Kam. Jim

Happy Birthday Will. Sounds as though this evening's all mapped out !

Beautiful Paul ! And a gorgeous afternoon for it. Sun shining, Birds singing, And Mullet saying " Shhhhhh don't tell anyone " Jim

Thank you all.

There were LOTS of your secret Mullet there Matt. They were swimming around in the shallows saying " shhhhhh " don't tell anyone ! And as for having a massive roach on the end . . . . . . . . . . Well ! Cheers Jim

Welcome Dave. Jim

Correct Kevin. I think it's all down to Face Ache ! My Birthday is Thursday but I don't mind doing a bit of early Beer & Cake With the crap time I've been having at work the diet's gone out of the window. Thanks anyway. Jim

Great ! Now Go Fishing ! I know . . . I know ! Kettle & pot !

Went to Christchurch Quay & The Quomps 8th April 2017. Such a beautiful view that we had to capture this: We hope you enjoy it ! The Flypic team. You have to use Chrome for youtube or it won't work. Same as last time. Press the pause button. It's a movie of a still. Jim

OOOOOH ! So o o o o o tempted to post a photo of my Ex. You'd see the resemblance. But I'd be in trouble for something ! ! ! Rob's gonna ask why I keep a photo of her . . . . We use it to scare the flipping trick or treaters away ! ! ! Seriously Fred. Great trip. Jim

Happy birthday Derek. Jim

Hi Mike, I used to have a Warrior 165 and sold it to downsize for 2 reasons. 1 ) laziness. 2 ) Knackered knees. I can tell you they are a very well built and solid boat. They are very good on the water. Warrior in my experience are a superb company to deal with and are always happy to help. They are great for advice too. You can tow with a medium sized car ( check you car's spec ) It will be a braked trailer so if you're buying second hand make sure it has a hub flush system ( they are fantastic ) Bearing savers too. Beware buying with a small engine. I think 50 hp is too small. I had an E-Tec 75 on mine and it was great. I now have a Honda 50 ( on my little Tiddler ) and although it's a superb engine. The servicing costs are a pain. If you go for a four stroke larger engine you will probably need Trim tabs. ( I think Brian has them ) Anyway . . . . that's enough waffle from me. Hope I've been of some help. Jim

Oh Graham ! ! !

Well done Steve. I've been at work all day or i'd have come over for a " Butchers " Jim And well done to the support boat as well.

Happy Birthday Adam. I hope you've been spoiled by your family and as you have no need of being on the sponsored weight loss you can have Beer & Cake. Jim
