Maverick Martin

Excellent news and well done on the new boat Nige Hope all goes well for you and that the jobs aren't to onerous Martin

Sea trial what? have I missed something please tell me Martin

Theres a blast from the past I can remember when I was a kid going into woolies and drooling over them reels Martin

Lofty we use Steve Bennett who lives in oakdale just away from you. He has 2 small lorries and is very fair with pricing Give him a call on 07747026468 Martin

Wow he was one lucky (?) fella. AWOL has autopilot but is never trusted on its own. AP is a great tool but needs using with care. It can't see obstructions that's the helmsman's job plus it won't make course changes without confirmation from the helmsman. As I said it's a great piece of kit and helps avoid fatigue on longer journeys but it doesn't and nor can it take charge. Martin

Rich thanks for having a poke at the powers that be. I have along with others been calling the bridge "The Twin Fails Bridge" It was never going to work out very well for boaters but as usual the council with their "I know best" attitude seem to be doing very well at making things worse than need be. I feel sorry for the water users up at Cobbs and of course Davis's boat yard. I believe both these provisions will end up full of small ie under 25' boats making them unviable, either that or the old bridge will become beyond economic repair and remain open to boats That would be the best result for water users. If the later doesn't happen then there maybe another very large waterside development coming to hamworthy fairly soon

That's awful hope the offender gets caught Martin

I don't think Navionics are compatible with Garmin Navionics compatibility spreadsheet Martin

Well done Graham I will certainly be keeping an eye out for you at Rockley so I can have a butchers Martin

A lady goes to the bar on a cruise ship and orders a Scotch with two drops of water. As the bartender gives her the drink she says, 'I'm on this cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday and it's today..' The bartender says, 'well, since it's your birthday, I'll buy you a drink. In fact, this one is on me..'as the woman finishes her drink, the woman to her right says, 'I would like to buy you a drink, too.' The old woman says, 'Thank you. Bartender, I want a Scotch with two drops of water.' 'Coming up,' says the bartender As she finishes that drink, the man to her left says, 'I would like to buy you one, too.' The old woman says, 'thank you, bartender, I want another Scotch with two drops of water.' 'Coming right up,' the bartender says. As he gives her the drink, he says, 'Ma'm, I'm dying of curiosity. why the Scotch with only two drops of water?' The old woman replies, 'Sonny, when you're my age, you've learned how to hold your liquor.. Holding your water, however, is a whole other issue.'

I hope to fish the comp on Sunday and weather permitting will need crew Any takers...phone email pm or post here Martin

Agree with Neal. We fished dancing ledge last week end and had one on bream gear also had a garfish (which reminds me I haven't registered that) so my guess would be it is worth a go with feathers Martin
