Not overly keen on charters myself anyway - so no brainer for me! Need even less brains to decide if JoJo was capable to go!!! (no comments Jim \ Charlie) This is seriously wetting my appetite for Alderney - only been once and cant wait to go again. Nothing like heading out of Poole in a flotilla, everyones excited and nervous. Thinking about what have we forgotten or should have brought. Not that it matters as other boats will be there to lend a hand. On the days fishing in Alderney the boats leave the harbour, following plans laid down by the skippers over a few beers the night before. Boats may head in a group, pairs or on own, always keeping in close radio contact with others (in fact more than if we were fishing at home). Damn I hope the weather lets us go! Off to research my 20lb turbo rig! Rob

Martin, I woudl be interested in: 1: Pillar drill 2: Ladder standoff Thanks Rob

Graham, Last year Dave of WM had an inflatable dinghy, Alun brought a small O/B, Craig carried it on his Aux bracket (Team Effort). This meant that I was able to take 2 x 25ltr jerry cans from JV in to the inner harbour with only 6" of water. Mainbrayce filled them and i plodded back with them onboard. The system worked well and I think other boats used the inflatable for the same. Rob

Graham, Start contacting the skippers via PM, phone or email. Not all will be looking at \ paying attention to the list of crew in waiting! Rob

According to Charlie I am a Veteran of many trips - but I certainly got a sense of adventure gong through the swinge in a 21ft boat Nothing wrong with that, it is all about the right speed for the conditions with is inversly proportionate to the sanity of the skipper - say no more!!! (who said he could have 600hp on the next one!!!)

No swell. That's Trev's view of the world, he's only little!!!

Cool - I have only been once, besides the good fishing, the crack in the evening \ during the day between boats is a high light! I expect for the "old hands" they don't get such sense of adventure as I did. Rob

There goes my flounder mark!

I have always used this one: http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/

Could be one of yours Trev Hush hush say no more!!! Beautiful fish and man they scrapped - catch and release mind you on the browns! (the net helped!!!!)

That's not a brown! That's a brown (private lake a stones throw from Adams house!!!): Is the colour difference the breeding \ strain Trev or time of year etc?

And that's a 10lb'er!!! Got any Tigers or Char??? p.s. is that a brook?

Don't believe everything you see\read!!! "More fishing from mental kayakers as one angler gets towed for five hours by a massive marlin. Some excellent footage of leaping marlin." Funny, he changed his Yak and shirt during the video - mind you I haven't listened to the commentary! Rob

Happy Birthday Paul. Rob

Is a 2.5 going to go more than 5knts? If not go electric! I think what you want is this: http://www.porta-bote.com/?gclid=CPnr9ZCU7KYCFRN-5QodMF8UAw I am not a Yakker, but I woudl have thought some of the appeal was the enjoyment of exercise, satisfaction of paddeling under your own steam and the peace and quiet! If you want a boat get one! How about an inflatable if storage is an issue? How do you insure yourself \ craft? Can you? Should you? Are you prepared to lose your house etc if you hurt someone if you can't get insurance?

Enjoy!

Enjoy Mark - though I bet your on a night shift!!! Rob

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!!! But in a word Oli - NO!

Oil - taste is to be sure - you could have rain water building up and you dislodge it in rough weather!!!! be sure be sure be sure!

Assume you have tested that it is salt water leaking in? Don't assume!!!! Rob

Many Happy Returns Martin.

does that include the wreck marks on the plotter????? Or would that double the price? Rob p.s. being a Dad - do yourself a favor and pay the

Enjoy Brian! Rob
