Graham Nash

Sorry Terry. Paul, speak to Terry as Duncan isn't going now so his space may be spare Looking at the forecast even Saturday has blown up again now so there may be quite a few rooms spare

Its looking like Saturday & Sunday to me with the wind picking up mid day Monday. What a nightmare trying to organise anything weather dependent in this country!!

That should have said Paul, not Alun.

Alun, speak to Duncan. He had a room booked with me but he's not going now.

Graham & Paul have contacted Alan and are on the "shortlist". He will make his decision tomorrow evening but it would seem that neither Graham nor Paul will need accomodation (nor food) Friday evening irrespective of any decision as Alan is going over there on Saturday (all being well). Thanks Terry and get well soon Duncan.

My old boat was occasionally left in the water for weekends and maybe slightly longer and it certainly stained the bottom even in that short time. No build up but definite staining. What is your issue about antifouling Toby?

The forecast I look at just made a huge improvement over night

yes. (although SOLD is probably an exageration!!) It went to a very nice chap in Devon who gave me a very few pounds for it ..... considerably less than the trailer was worth!! Just another one of my boating investments over the years Anyway, yes it's gone.

that last one would have been cut off a LONG time before it got that close to me!!! MAD!

Well done for getting out Stuie ...... I cant even remember what it feels like to be on the water!!

all that moving about must have been a real pain Nige Glad you're enjoying her

Well done for retrurning a PB Mal.

cake??????

Niggle

Agree with Adam ...... a see through small eyed

And I'm looking forward to seeing Manta Ray afloat from the distance.

many happy returns Dave :-)

happy birthday Charlie. I hope you didnt drink too much this evening :-)

Thanks for the input guys.... I suggested all of the above to Dan and he confirmed that he had checked and double checked EVERYTHING. He refused to be beaten so he checked everything one more time and found a pin inside a din plug was bent over and not making a contact. Straightening the pin and all is looking good I can sympathise with him because there are occasions I too struggle to find a tiny fault (too busy looking for a major problem to see the obvious). Anyway, hopefully I won't have missed the bream and maybe I will get to use my nice new fixed spool reel this weekend (so long as I dont get flooded by Wishin Too's wake!!)

Great Nige ..... I smiled at your comment "I really just needed an excuse to drive the boat". cant wait to see Wishin Too in the flesh!

Thanks for the ideas guys. There is 12 at the engine. The trim works from there but not from the controls. The dials don't light up. The fuse has been checked. It seems to ne a loom or ignition fault. Any more suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

I tried the search facility but it was having none of it so here goes. My Suzuki DF115 that I bought for my boat seems to be giving the mechanic a problem. When I bought it Iwas assured it worked and had recently been serviced before being removed from the boat. I have no reason not to believe this was fact. Anyway, it's imaculate and came with the wiring loom still connected to the engine so Dan (shoreside marine down at Rockley) bolted it on my boat and connected it to my throttle controls, battery and dials. He flicked the switch but nothing happened ..... he was pretty sure it was a connection problem so put it on the back burner for another day. Anyway, following exhaustive checks he can find no connection problem. It would seem that there is power getting everywhere that it should but absolutely nothing works. No turnover, no lights, no nothing almost as if a fuse or the ignition is dead .... but neither seems to be the case He's calling the Suziki dealers for them to come plug their box of tricks in but before he does ..... Any ideas anyone?

Who's gonna be first to checkout the long range forecasts?

I wish Nige!!
