I have seen Neil at Wessex is running a boat species comp. I believe it is for individuals and you can fish on private or charter boats. Starts first or Feb. I will find out more. R

Indeed, save your marriage and don't take Diane fishing!

Hope you don't regret the sale to the guy from Cornwall. Good luck in your search. R

Well, we weren't expecting that!!

Doesn't take much especially if it has been say on a mooring. This was the tender engine on JV. Easy to see how the salt can build up. Good luck with the motor. A little 10% hydrochloric acid can work wonders on these blockages. Plus it's cheap!

Have you thought about going in to partnership with someone Brian? Perhaps someone who already has a boat? Or see if someone wants to upgrade too? R

Surely the answer is to buy something open!!!!! R

Hi and Welcome! I think the flounder fishing has gone down hill in the last 10 yrs. Not one of my target species, but that is the impression i get. We have our flounder comp scheduled for Sunday, and usually it is a close fought battle but the fish are scarce. Rob

I think it is c.70miles to Alderney, will you only get 60 miles from your 140 litres? (Mind you, you would want 100/110 miles of range incase of bad weather etc). The FreeBoys guys used to have this sorted on their boats, perhaps Matt will be along to advise. Rob

Assuming the boss will fit and the steering tube. Better off going like for like in my opinion. R

There are different brands and lengths, usually stamped on the cable, need to replace like for like. R

Yep, I believe true blue is offering an Alderney trip for £60 a day and £50 a night accommodation!

Last person seen before sinking was the ex-safety office, well I never!!!!

Well, until someone does half a job and has to call for rescue or worse! R
