Maverick 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

No snide remarks from me this time Happy Birthday old fella Martin

Charlie that's very small could use it if you like but bigger would be better Martin Edit: found the original file and all on the front page now

Happy Birthday Adam and Fred Have a goodun Martin

I'm so pleased for you, it will get even better as you progress through the learning curve so long as you are prepared to listen and learn. You're in the right place to gain that expertise and you have made a blinding start Well Done Martin

Happy Birthday Tony...see you shortly for a swift 1/2 a barrel Martin

Good news Dave, only one boat to clean and maintain now Martin

Excellent report as ever, well done on making the most of the weather Martin

Really pleased for you Trev I know what you have been through, read the script and got the Tshirt All's well that ends well and long may it last Martin

Nigel Ive been looking at the Starfisher 840 and really like them. I think the one with a Yanmar 315 might be good for 30Knots on a good day but as Adam said it's not very often you would be able or afford to. Cruising at around 18-22knots suits me and many others fine. Other beast could be Rodman 870 or rodman 900 series (my preferred option) Oh and Thanks Adam for the plug Martin
