Pollocks Jim Pollocks.!! Derek

someone wont like this ( capitals) but here goes, WELL DONE TRUE BLUE. Derek.

Sorry all I appear to have been totaly misunderstood (not unusual) I have no objection at all to the authorites ''spying'' on legitimate targets I understand everyone who admirably says ''I aint done nufink, I aint got nufink to hide'' but, to put it in a nutshell, those who agree to a total authority right to spy any time anywhere should perhaps give residing in a nice little condo in North Korea a try, Sorry but I dont like the thought of snidy little persons peering through my curtains,opening my mail, going through my rubbish, and tapping my phone without so much as a by your leave or port arms, so there!!! Tight lines to you all Derek.

At 73yrs of age big brother does not rate highly on my list of worries, I am just so glad that I am not my great grand children!! Senile aged rant over, tight lines, Derek.

Hoodies afloat, Whatever next??? Derek

Little lad does not seem to be enjoying it. derek

Just picked up 2 repaired props from prop/solutions after an exiting winter in xch harbour. what a super service, nice people, good job, what more can you ask for?? derek.

What a bummer Tom!! so glad all is well but sorry about the coming expense. Derek.

Paul, Do you think we are likely to see them on the ledge? Derek.

Welcome Sea Spark, I also launch from ''quomps'' with my boat Ellen so we will meet eventualy, hope you mend soon, fishing is better than sking, Derek.

Better late than never. Hope you had a good one Adam. Derek

I am wrong again, of course it is stem cells they harvest from umbilicle cords, I think. Derek

number 24 I thought umbilical cords were salvaged for bone marrow etc, etc, derek.

Thanks for all your good wishes. Derek.

Tomo, It is back in the harbour just down from the ferry jetty about 60mtrs and 20+mtrs out from the beach, I admit the tide was not good but it was a sharp rise from the harbour bed i suspect it was partialy caused by someone (ferry cat?) stuck in and giving it some welly to get out leaving a little pile, couple of weeks may see it gone. hope this helps, Derek.

Thanks lads, Extreme Marine in the end, only ones with my prop but very reasonable and same day despatch, Derek.

Hi all, Went out for a look on Saturday evening from Mudeford and found the new pile of shingle just ''downstream'' of the Hengisbury head ferry jetty ( I wonder who left that there?) Consequence, stuffed prop. Can anyone tell me who is the local Tohatsu dealer. Ta !! Derek.

I think unless times have changed,a vessel the sizeof a dredger under marine law is at all times when under way required to keep a diligent lookout either by people on the bridge or a crew member deligated as such, weather a ''small'' open boat would strictly require to hoist an ''i am at anchor'' ball is arguable, the responsibility for safe navigation is allways with the vessel under way (especialy one so large) Derek.

OOOoooooooer ''hello sailor''

Colin, just being nosey, what is the number of your mooring? Derek.

Congrats Brian, Well done!! Derek

done, derek.

Good luck with your sale Brian,I have brought my Longliner off the mooring and intend to trail it everywhere, I think it will be just as conveniant safe at home and kitted out ready to go instead of rowing gear etc out to a mooring all the time at
