Happy birthday Neil have a nice day🍺

Hope you have a good trip without any dramas, I will be out try a call on 6.

Toby I am in Ribs marine in Christchurch your welcome to take a look around. I have a Marlin merry fisher 695 with a single 150 yamaha. I have most of what you want and at the cheaper end of the market. Once you move to twins you double your fuel and servicing and as mike says refuelling can then be a chore. Ribs owners now own Rossiters and there is talk of possibly installing a petrol pump. The class rating B is for offshore, most boats are C rating but will do most things on calm seas and nursed at 12knots will do most of the rest. If your out in worse than that you have made a trip plan mistake. If I was upgrading for Christchurch with your wish list I would go for a Barracuda 8 but you will need 60k. Where as 35k might buy you what I have. I would prefer a cat for Christchurch just because of the sand bar and draft issues in the Winter or beyond November. If you study the commercials they prefer Cats in Christchurch as they sit square rather than listing if you run aground by accident.

I certainly would not want the maintenance bill for keeping that working.

Look up ips throttling your speed and explain it in simple English please Rob.

We had a guy come around to measure the signal and the dead areas, the coverage has improved.

The bt extenders worked for us just recently, the house is covered now.

Same as that, we have coverage in the garden.

That was a close escape. Don't forget a few other safety essentials like a working vhf radio preferably not a hand held. A set of inshore flares, a horn to attract attention and some nav lights. Good luck with your search.

Cheers. I hope it is exceptional

Feliz cumpleanos amigo

It’s come down to this...

Great I can ask to use without having to find them a home. LOL

Jerry that looks like a plunging mortice machine?

Hi Mark, Mal Thomas here. Just to let you know the 695 merry fisher is still going well. We have done a lot to it and she fits the bill. However I keep looking at OHANA that's a nice bit of kit.

If we are not all on lock down😓

You might just be in the best isolation, good luck with Spring.

All of his assets should be frozen and reclaim any monies that the court can, including his house. His other assets should be chopped off.

You keep posting, you are one of the most enthusiastic, fishing and active members. We definitely need you in this forum. More power to your elbow. Colin I enjoy your work rate, your positive approach and your willingness to accept guidance and go and try attitude to catch your target species. If there was a trophy for most improved member you would have my vote. 😊

Small eyed, spines are correct. Cuckoo has black background with cream spots

Try Christchurch Timber, they may have something similar. Iroko is more affordable and used in marine boat framing.

After returning from Spain with a cold it is not improving with a heavy workload, so I will keep my germs to myself and rest up as evenings are the worse time. Have a good meeting and go easy on Charlie.

Cod Comp weather watch looks good at the moment with a very good chance of being one of the fairest days in some weeks,

Belated Happy birthday Oli thanks for all you do for the club. Hope you find a cod or two.

A great personal and club achievement, it is a real shame I was cropped out of the top of the photo you would have got far more votes Charlie.🤣
