I've just messaged you Jerry

I have every intention of taking part in this one .... Dentist appointment on the Saturday so Ill probably be out on the Sunday. Ill confirm closer to the day (depending on weather)

thats amazing work Jim .... Im assuming thats no ordinary router you use?

that sounds wrong!!

so long as you didn't take it there with you 😉

i had every intention of being out, but my "crew" went to Poole Harbour Festival yesterday and text me at midnight saying he was walking home and wouldn't be in any fit state for fishing today! It would seem my good lady had a visit to the mother in law planned .... so guess what Im doing today!

👍

Hi Sam. I'm on samoya. An Orkney 590. Sounds like we are leaving Wareham around 8am.

I dont particularly want smuts, especially pups!!

Thanks for the messages guys. I was genuinely expecting it to be some sort of private joke that had Morphed into a club joke over the years. I must stop being such a cynic.

I'm out with my mate again Thursday to see it we can improve on zero fish! I'm almost certainly going to forget the miles on Thursday and just head to old harry for some bream. I have a sneaking suspicion I'll regret asking this ..... But what is this "secret ray mark" I see mentioned regularly!?!?

I'm having a bit of a tidy up and I have a small anchor free to whoever thinks they can use it. 2.5 kg, looks unused. Collect Upton or I might even get to a meeting some time and can bring it there.

Good day, finished off with a good deed. Well done on both counts

That's one more than I found yesterday!

Have a safe trip guys. It sounds like lots of planning, I hope the fish appreciate your efforts

Ha ha. I did that. Fell off the thing nearly every time I used it! Sold it to some guy from southbourne who used it with his dog. (Hopefully him and his dog had better Ballance than me)!!

Thanks everyone for the welcome. I look forward to reading and sharing some of our experiences.

Orkney 590 Charlie.

Good morning all, Ive just re-joined after many years. Some might remember me by the name "Little Sal", well those that know me will know i'm neither "little" nor am I "Sal". Im now at Ridge Warfe in Wareham, which is a bit of a jaunt to the bay, but i believe the motor home up the river flushes my engine after every trip. Hopefully the weather will get back to what summer is supposed to be and we can all enjoy our boats.

while de-cluttering I have found a brand new 5 stud trailer wheel with new 155/70/12C tyre. May be of use to you trailer types ;-) When I was fixing my boat I purchased a 4M X 8M "GALA TENT". It stood up to the massive storms we had in 2014. The sides and ends were never used and are still boxed up in my loft. The rest was up for about a year. Cost me over £500, make me an offer coz I'll never use it again unless I move somewhere with a huge garden (and find loads of friends). https://www.galatent.co.uk/more_details.asp?itemcode=06507

I changed the direction that my job was going about 18 months ago and have found myself working virtually non stop. Because of that my boat has gone (I'll get another one day) and i'm moving house so I need to clear out all the other bits Ive been accumulating. i have a suzuki 2.5 hm outboard, was perfect the last time it was used about 2 years ago but obviously you can check for yourself when/if you're interested. a BRAND NEW, never used 1974 Evinrude 9.9HP short shaft outboard. i bought it in a moments madness a couple of years ago and had it serviced by an old engineer in Highcliffe. He was impressed and says its perfect. Ive not even started it since. I have a 7 year old Honda 5hp long shaft which is on the back of my Zegul 380 and old jetski trailer. (Engine hardly used). again probably last used a couple of years ago. http://www.chastheboat.co.uk/zegul_boats.htm I have two life vests Kru XS175n's. One has self inflated the other is still complete. I believe the inflated one just needs a new gas bottle??? full set of navigation lights (for vessel up to 12 met) ..... please dont ask why!! Paper chart Needles to Portland bill (waterproof paper) 2 dog floatation jackets (both large) one red crewsaver, the other no labels Crewsaver XL dry suit good cond (stored indoors). Couple of XL all in one floatation suits, one "mainstream" dark green (so you cant be found), the other "Fladen" bright orange (so you cant be missed). All of the above has been stored outside for a couple of years so will need fumigating/washing before use. PM me with anything you want to know or if you want a look/offer. Graham

My little boat has a very short transom but my engine has a long shaft. I've used it a few times bolted straight to the transome and it pushes me along ok but seems to lift the nose a lot. Extending the tiller and sitting further forward gets me moving much quicker and to be honest would be absolutely fine for what I do with it ...... BUT ..... Is there any technical issues wth using a long shaft on a short transom? (apart from adding another 6 or 7 inches to my draft) I made a makeshift extension to my transom to lift the engine by the required amount yesterday and gave it a try but it only seemed to add a lot of stress to the transom) Alternatively ..... is anyone out there wanting to part with an 8 / 10 hp short shaft engine?

Barry decided to propose to Sandra, but prior to her acceptance Sandra felt she had to confess to her man about her childhood illness. She informed Barry that she suffered a disease that left her breasts at the maturity of a 12 year old. He said that it was OK because he loved her sooo much. However, Barry felt this was also the time for him to open up and admit that he had a deformity too. Barry looked Sandra in the eyes and said, 'I too have a problem. My winky is the same size as an infant and I hope you can deal with that once we are married.' She said, 'Yes, I will marry you and learn to live with your infant size winky.' Sandra and Barry got married and they could not wait for the honeymoon. Barry whisked sandra off to their hotel suite and they started touching, teasing, and holding one another. As sandra put her hands in Barry's pants, she began to scream and ran out of the room! Barry ran after her to find out what was wrong. She said, 'You told me your winky was the size of an infant!' 'Yes, it is said Barry ... 6 pounds, 5 ounces, 14 inches long

I'm battling my way through my back yard and seem to have accumulated what seems to look like a very nice bike frame and wheel????? The frame is bright yellow and is a "SANTA CRUZ" and is amazingly light weight. I think its a hybrid mountain bike frame but I dont know. The wheel is a "MAVIC X 222"?? with a "SCHWALABE CITY JET" with a 26X150 tyre on it. Looking at Ebay they seem to be pretty good stuff with the complete bikes ranging between £600 and £4000!!! My ex lodger says it was not his and he doesn't want it. Ive checked the serial number on all stolen bike registers and it comes back clear. Dont have me chucking it in the bin, someone must be able to use it. All free to good home. but quickly as i need to clear my clutter! Is in Poole. 07710911921
