Agread what did I hand the club over to.....a hoody indeed Martin

Nah I reckon its a slip of the tipex Martin

Won't deter me, if they deserve it they will get it

and Aldeney http://www.accuweather.com/world-forecast2...20Visa&metric=0

Although I like this one http://www.accuweather.com/world-forecast2...|Poole&metric=0 Damn now I've started Martin

Thats why I don't look until about 3/4 days prior to the trip, saves on the agony Martin

Thanks guys for your good wishes they were very much appreciated. I would also like to thank all those that offered me places on their boats, this is truly a great and friendly club and I for one feel privileged to be a part of it. Mermaid emailed and phoned me today confirming the engine had indeed arrived and that fitting would be going ahead as planned on Monday PMS have confirmed that fitting of the outdrive will take place on Wednesday and sea trials are confirmed for Thursday To say I am getting excited is an understatement. This is the longest I have been boatless for about 20 years and it aint funny Also after missing one opportunity to go to Alderney this year (April bank hols) it looks like I may be able to make Friday's foray, fingers and everything else crossed Martin

Adam If you have around

UUuummm he is still about then, thought he had left the planet Martin

Well the new engine left Austria on Monday and should arrive at Mermaid Marine on Friday. Mermaid has scheduled in Monday to fit the new engine and PMS are hopefully fitting the leg on Wednesday. If all this goes to plan then sea trials will take place on Thursday allowing us to depart for Alderney on Friday or maybe very early Saturday. Knowing my luck something is bound to go wrong

Happy Birthday Kam, hope you have a good day Martin

Engine was supposed to leave Austria today arriving UK Wednesday or Thursday but I have not yet had confirmation that the engine did leave. If the engine arrives this week and Mermaid fit promptly then PMS can refit the legg PDQ then we could still be on for the trip but it is still very much up in the air Martin

All the best and many happy returns Jason Martin

I'm sure one or two of us will be wearing our PBSBAC clothing with the web site addy plastered all over the back Martin

For new members: If you copy the score sheet posted by coddy and on your return fill in the sheet it will automatically calculate your score. You can then forward the copleted form onto Adam the fish recorder. Good luck to all those fishing Martin

Hi Mick Welcome to PBSBAC club and forum. Anything you need to know re fishing or boating just ask, someone here will have the answers Martin

Surely not....... what from the Marie Hall?? Do you trust me with a 8' dinghy after 10 pints of guiness!? Only if I have had 11 pints Martin

Is anybody able to take a dingy this year? It might not be as easy as taking the water taxi but is certainly more convienient if ones available especially for the late returns Martin

The tension/excitement is really winding up now so much so I have been watching these On a good day Braye harbour can be as good as But lets hope Braye harbour isn't like Bring it on Martin

Most small boats can launch 1 hour either side of low water and up Martin

Wednseday 22nd is ok for me. Should know for sure if AWOL will be ready by then Martin

You cheeky git, the truth is out there and I know what it is BTW made a mistake above it should read "You cheeky OLD git" Martin

Welcome to the club Andy & Shane Martin

Tom I would say in these times related job adverts are fine Hope you find someone of the right caliber Martin
