Well pleased for you Adam ( and also well envious !! ). Shall have to ask for my commission now

Just replacing bearings on the trailer. Forgot to ream out the old roller guides on one wheel but they didnt look too bad, the bearings were a little rusty coloured though.!! One wheel done, other wheel in Walkford Garage to have bearing guides knocked out, so all well and good will have back and on trailer by end of today. If not back then there will be no Neo

Surely ?

Got to be able to get it to 10 pages worth !!

No problems. So it is 9 AM BST at Baiter slipway - I will get some ragworm and bring some of the squid I have in the freezer. Will it be possible to get some marks for Poole Harbour or outside, since I haven't a clue where to start "Plaice hunting" !! And I am now "GPS Map enabled as well"

Adam, You dont want to be turning your clock back - you will be two hours late then Clock goes forward one hour on sunday morning. Therefore, if you hadn't touched your clock it would be 6-30 AM at Rownhams. If you put it one hour forward before going to bed then it will be 7-30 AM at Rownhams. Clear as mud eh !! ?

Note : 6-30 at Rownhams is actually 7:30 at Rownhams, since the clocks go forward Saturday night. So 7:30 BST at Rownhams Anyone wish to disagree ?

There is a removal tool for the NETSKY worm. The link is posted here NETSKY Removal Tool The tool itself is attached below :-

Charlie, I was alarmed when I saw the addresses too !! - However, I am sure you can relax, since the virus has got that particular address from someone else's machine and forged the header. ( I looked in the e-mail path and it came from a different domain to the senders address = forged ) Details on the worm that infected these particular e-mails can be found here. NETSKY worm details If your scanner is up to date, it will find these. The above link tells you what the worm does, so you could look for these files/symptoms ( I am pretty sure you have nothing to worry about ). regards Paul

Astounded today at the range of tide on the slipway - "were has all the water gone" was my first thought !! I dont remember saying the slipway was slippery ?? Shingly at the end though and then around 10 foot of sand off the end when the tide is out. Couldn't see a 15 ft drop on the slipway itself ( The end is marked by a red marker ), so that wo0uld appear to be a slight exaggeration . There is around15 ft bank of shingle by the slip though. We will need a broom I think + on low tide I will launch / pull my trailer out via rope from car I think. The snad/shingle at the end of the slipway looks firm enough for a 4WD, but I wouldnt fancy it with the Mondeo. I think 1 hour before or after low tide may be better and hopefully the water will be up the slipway a bit !! As you can see from the attached photo PS: My crew will consist of just my daughter, no "foreend" for this trip, so I could take a third person if we are short of spaces, although I dont have as much room as others !!

Pete, I could do with a new net too ( and a T Bar ). Could U put me down for the next batch plz. cheers Paul

The virus that is "doing the rounds" at the moment is the NETSKY worm. This is prevalent enough to be mentioned on a big sign in PC World. We also have the same worm affecting our e-mail at work. The "fishy theme" from received messages has nothing to do with posting on this site. All e-mail addresses on this site are not disclosed to third parties etc. etc. What is happening is that the virus infects someones PC and then sends itself to everyone in their address book looking as if it has come from someone else in their address book. You are likely to receive "fish theme" e-mails simply because that is probably where you send most e-mails / spend most of your time ?? Virus scanner time I would suggest !

Adam, I wasn't going to take Neo, since I thought it was going to be larger boats trailing down. ( Neo doesn't come into the "Larger" category. ) Also, I would like to get the wheel bearings checked before going so far.

Damn, I've been rumbled I bet Loyal Royal Mark won;t be using that link eh !!

Because I didn't set up the permissions correctly on the forum. All sorted now.

North Atlantic indeed. Is it not the "Grand Banks" which are, by the way, now virtually devoid of all cod. Anyone want to claim that overfishing does not affect fish stocks - just take a look at the facts from the Grand Banks and it is really quite mind boggling ( and depressing ).

Adam, You can download a program called ZoneAlarm which I think is free. However, the virus scanner is the important part and it is worth remembering that NT has a firewall of sorts built into it. To enable the firewall in NT right click on the two computer icon that show your internet connection in the bottom RHS of the screen and select Status. In the status window select the Properties button. In the properties window select the "Advanced" Tab. You should now have a window with an option at the top called "Internet Connection Firewall". Tick this box and your internet connection will be firewall protected to a degree by XP. If already ticked then all well and good. Useful ? PS: This thread could do with being moved to the Site and Forum topic I think ?

This URL is good for latest reports :- Indeed even been updated today. dartmouth reports

Adam, Not sure how high pressure, but on the highest "beam" it will take your gelcoat off as well as the anti-foul ( I used it on a patio table to good affect ) if placed too close, so you will have no problem there ! It did a fine job stripping paint from the front of my house.

Nice idea, but as they say "Prevention is better than cure". I would still recommend the use of a virus scanner for internet connected PC's. The reason is that you may very well detect the fact that you have a virus on your PC, but it could very well be too late then..... Furthermore, you may not get a non-delivery report, since many of the trojans/viruses use their own SMTP engine to send the mail ( using your address book to send ) and the return address could be anything. So your PC could be sitting there infected whilst you are blissfully unaware. I would recommend using Norton Internet Security ( Firewall and virus scanner ) or Trend Micro Internet security. You will be astounded at the number of attempts from outside to hack into your PC ( especially of you are broadband connected ). Hope this is of use.

Adam, I have a high pressure jet washer if you wish to give this a try. You're welcome to borrow it.

In reply to Bob's question. You certainly do not need two GPS's ( one EGNOS enabled and one not ). On the Garmin, you can turn the WAAS ( EGNOS ) off. The only reason you would need/want to do this is when you know the WAAS/EGNOS signal is unavailable/intermittent. Turning off WAAS/EGNOS saves power as when turned on the GPS continues searching for the signal. If the WAAS/EGNOS signal is lost then the GPS reverts to "standard GPS" anyhow. Good question re: Magnetic or True. I have up to now only used a handheld GPS and havent used this to determine my heading. Personally, I think I will use Mag heading so that the GPS will match my compass, unless someone comes up with a good reason why you would not want to do this.

Rich, There was indeed a virus sent via the mailing list. However, there are a large number of viruses "in the wild" currently ( We had same issues at work ). The viruses certainly will not be as a result of visiting this site. What will have happened is someone who has your e-mail address gets infected. The virus then looks in their address book and send itself to you and so on and so on. ( This is how the mailing list received one - I have since password protected the list to prevent this happening again ) Everyone should use a decent virus scanner / detector to prevent infection and should never open attachments unless expected. I hope this helps. regards Paul PS: I am currently receiving around 1 to 2 infected e-mails per day ( from all sorts )
