New member....new to the boat owner ranks.....sailed as crew a few seasons about 10 yrs ago. I purchased a 16.5 ft fishing/leisure boat last year and have a relic Navcom VHF....no call sign yet ??? a set of Poole Bay Leisure charts....and a pair of binoculars. Looking forward to catching up with the rest of you with the Nav and safety stuff.......if I can afford it that is !! Only want to fish safely in the Bay.....sounds expensive.
I note that quite a few of members use slipways locally....tried it once at Baiter last year and it blew up a bit while I was in lea of Brownsea....recovery nightmare for me and my son so trying a swinging mooring season at Parkstone Bay Marina...Any other members there??
