Don't bring the local Bobby into it Brian. That's a subject for another time!!!!!!

It was making a real grinding sound when it was being lifted Yesterday

Well We set out at 08.00 and returned back 09.00☹️☹️ Didn’t even get out of the swash channel with waves going over the top of the wheelhouse. Chris has managed to get out, but too rough for my back and knees we live to fish another day!!!!! whenever that will be ?

Hi Allan Unfortunately not. I will be trying to head for the south west spoils. I will judge the visibility When I get down. Just give me a shout on ch6 and hopefully I will be able update you with the sea state as long as we can get out. Greg

Neal and I have the same ambitions tomorrow, so we will probably meet you at the 07.30 bridge lifts. Will be on ch6 once out of the harbour. Will be on ch14 through the harbour due to Commercial traffic and expected poor visibility Greg

Happy Birthday Oli I hope you had a great holiday and are having a few Rum Punches today to celebrate !!! Greg

Thanks guys yes I am looking forward to getting my fishing mojo back!!

A very long story. basically all the engine and dash electrical looms had to be replaced due to the exhaust elbow last year springing a leak. All good now after £5 ks worth of work. Fortunately the Insurance company paid the majority of the cost. It didn’t help with the French winning the World Cup as all items had to be shipped over during the tournament!!

Never mind Neil at least you were not working. I am looking forward to getting out soon as the boat was laid up for 4 months. Now the weather has turned!!!

That's what you call family friendly!!!!!!!!!!!!

Show off!

Happy Birthday Stuie a nice glass of Red Wine or three ? Greg

Just googled Mark Worboys and he now lives in Creekmoor. You can contact him via his website or phone directly from his google business site.

I use Mark Warbouys based in Wimborne. I would recommend.

Happy Birthday Lofty

We used to go to Pergins Island in our Poole canoes when we were kids and have mud fights in the shallows. You don’t see much of that these days🤔🤔

Yes fully agree Greg

You are the coolest grandad ever😎

As you are aware we have the 805 as well. We have had it for 5 years now and when anyone outside the clubs asks me what type of boat I have, I liken it to a caravan on water. We are a family of three and I must admit we only just all enjoy the space. I am not sure how we would get on if we were a family of 4. However, as your kids get older and discover technology, they will be more in the cabin than out!! I can fish with 3 anglers out the back quite comfortably, or two anglers with 4 rods. We have also had special made cushions which fit the top deck (they cost £600.00 to have made) this gives us an extra 48 sq, feet of sun bathing space. However, that is fine if you are around the Islands not out in the bay which could be uncomfortable due to the pendulum effect!! We too have looked high and low for another vessel, but they do not exist unless you are willing to pay £90k plus. Charlie did the right thing by creating Alfresco. His boat fits all the family and fishing needs but you will need a big wallet and time to go down that route. The 805 is very economical on fuel and I use it a lot as a winter fishing boat as it has a great cabin to get out of the cold as well as the inboard heater. I think it also come down to the fact that you need to determine whether you actually need an out and out fishing boat or a family boat. And good luck with that one!!!!!!!!!

I've seen that face somewhere else before...…………...I remember now ...………………... the Mother-in-Law 😂😂
