Cheers Guys take my eye off the site for a couple of days and all my secrets are revealed. Btw it was a pleasure Neil, there was lots of times when I was looking, when I just wanted a quick look around as I knew what I wanted just like you. As a capable vessel with flexibility to suit your Family, I think you have found the right specification, good luck with your search and if I can help further just ask.

Thanks for the heads up on the lifejacket checks, hope the day goes well.

Hi Tim welcome to the club, Iam the safety officer and will be happy to help where I can, as a yakker there are places and tide races to avoid at the wrong times, which Iam sure you will know about, lofty will help there as well. I trust you are fully kitted out like lofty with all the aids and drysuit ect, cant be to careful on a yak, we operate on channel 6 and you probably saw myself and Chris on Kingfisher at the plaice chase. Welcome and feel free to ask away.

Belated Happy birthday Fred

Like P J said we have a poor history of looking after our stocks, I hope we get another chance.

Done

Charlie we fished on the Sunday and I stuck my neck out and said watch out for the higher gusts predicted Sunday, when we left the Harbour I was getting some stick about what wind ect, by the time we dropped anchor it was blowing a hooley from the North, that disapaited and returned to calm, then a cool westerly blew a hooley for the rest of the afternoon. Iam happy to keep an eye out, and put a post up if a warning or cancellation is necessary, more effort but as long as members appreciate your effort that is fine.

Where is Chris w in the results.

The gusts look a little lively sunday at 20mph from the west, so a little protection might be available for those not venturing far. Please be careful. Mal Safety officer.

Make sure you get a steer from Alun jones re route out even though you draft less than a foot.

Lofty, you have a great crowd who love your effort and turn out for you. You care for all of them when they are afloat and they feel safe in your hands. It was a pleasure to help out on the assistance boat with Chris, he bought all the rolls, sausages and bacon we dished out today. The tremendous efforts he has made to raise money for H.o.w over the last twenty odd months has been fantastic, the man has a heart of gold. Well done to the both of you in a great event and a good cause, well run and enjoyed by all, with all the fish caught today your next turnout might be even larger.

WEATHER UPDATE FOR THE PLAICE CHASE. Lofty the weather has slightly changed and turned ssw and increased for launching 7.00am -10am giving 8-21 decreasing to 9-15. Landing/ beaching 13.00-16.00pm giving12-15 decreasing10-13. This is on xc weather.

Lofty I have noticed a slight discrepency in your start and safety briefing times, the poster and your report are different, could you have a look please and clarify. I will be on the safety boat with Chris and the boat name is Kingfisher on channel 6 as you have mentioned in your report. Good luck to all entering and the projected weather looks to be 6-10mph sw, we will keep an eye on that up until friday night and keep you informed. Looking forward to seeing you all out fishing.

Happy birthday Tony.

Happy birthday Dean, have a beer for me.

Who's the slim one in the middle. BTW well done Chris.

Have a good day both of you. Happy birthday.

Graham just a note, I was doing the same, looking for an autopilot to match my Lowrance kit, till I noticed they all use nmea communications, so they are all compatible. The lowrance auto pilot without an expensive extra only works through the screen which is not ideal in an emergency. The other kits have a control on the dash. I would make in depth investigations before you by.

Planning to go further afeild Rob.

Sounds like mid March and the only option would be to dump raymarine.

Not such a good story from me Charlie, mine was to be fitted today, however the Raymarine ACU for the 1.0ltr pump apparently are not even made yet. So you could say a wrong installation has been avoided, on the other hand you could say sh--

Happy Birthday Greg.

Your Holiday list reads like War and peace Nige, have you found a secret way to mark them up on the Holiday rota. JUST JEALOUS.

Nice to see you back Hookey, good luck and tight lines.

Happy birthday Martin
