I think you should have third party liability at least for your own peace of mind. Worst case scenario you might scrape the gel coat on a sunseeker or the like!!! How deep are your pockets!!!!! Colin

Sorry Neal but I have to say Towergate were excellent. They payed out in full within a couple of weeks of entering the claim for my stolen gearbox. I would recommend them to anyone, superb service at a good price. Colin

I have managed to get Sun free to fish the open and now it looks like the weather will be doing it,s best to postpone it again. That will teach me not to make nasty wishes. Colin

Lots of fish but nothing for the comp Colin

Boblin will be out but no Bobi she is doing a lunchtime concert in Salisbury. Bobi wants to know if today's catch would count as she can't fish the comp. I will have a crew of nonmembers. Colin

Bloody hell you made it to another year Nige Happy birthday Colin and Bobi

Happy birthday Mick. Colin and Bobi

We will be there Sunday hope to see some of you there.

Thanks for the good wishes just had a curry so I expect the wind will be up again soon. Colin

Thanks for all the hard work Rob and Charlie I'm off to Dorchester casting now to try and use the wind to my advantage. New date is not good for me so here's hoping for a very windy 9th Oct Colin

Oh yes Graham I always cast with wind

Bad weather for boats means good weather for casting, so I shall head to Dorchester and chuck some lead at the Weymouth casting clubs tournament. Colin

Well done Rob the right decision made. I know we can take Boblin out in almost any sea which is an unfair advantage in an open comp. There is always someone who might push just a little bit too hard in bad conditions. Safety first every time. Colin

Bobi and Colin will be out as you know Nige see you all out there somewhere Colin

No Bass on Boblin but did see the rarely sighted "Small Fry". Colin

We know how you feel it makes you sick that even when caught nothing much ever happens to them. Bring back the BIRCH I say!!!! Colin

1. Alfresco Charlie + crew TBC 2. Graham (Little Sal) + one crew TBC 3. Alun J. with Rob F. .....boat t.b.c. Skipper +boat available (hint) 4. Boblin Colin + Bobi

As far as I am concerned this was a very serious case!!!! Colin

Yes Nige at least 2 have Honda 50's and the cheeky b****rds were dredging only feet from the pontoon at north haven the other day. It's not illegal to dredge in the moorings but it is if they damage them. Colin

Yeah still got the night vision thingies. All ready contacted the sea fisheries and the harbour board and the echo if you think of any one else who should know let me know Colin

Well done George a great fish. Colin and Bobi

We are still nervous about our boat security, so we went down to check her on the mooring this evening. We have a night watch at North Haven and they fill out a log. On reading last nights log it transpires that a cockle boat was in the moorings without nav lights at midnight last night. The night watch reported this to the coast guard who in turn notified the Marine Police who in their wisdom turned up not as you would expect by boat but by road. They used a loudhailer to tell the said cockle boat to come in, on the second call the cockle boat throttled up and p**sed off. What a surprise!!!!! With the amount of thefts that are happening from boats at the moment why are we not seeing more police patrols on the water. These scrotes just seem to be left to get on with helping themselves to what ever they want. There is no way this git was cockling at midnight in the moorings. We now have security bolts fitted to our remaining gearbox but we are still finding very unsettling. Colin

We are hoping to get out but with only one engine we wont be going very far. Might see you out there some where Stue. Colin

We fish while watching the air show there is plenty of fish to be had out there. Colin

If you go close to the end of the pier look out for anyone fishing on the end and give them room and look out for the trip boats too. Colin
