Enjoy!!!!

Luckily he was ok: http://m.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/11487463.Search_launched_after_concerns_for_missing_kayaker/

Poole road, branksome. Luckily I only use this fuel station infrequently!! http://m.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/11486602.Tesco_admits_problems_with_diesel_fuel_at_Branksome/

Also, I rarely use side scan / structure scan.

Half the time setting up the sounder manually and not using "Auto" gives a much better image. We need to bring Bob out of retirement for a talk!!!!! I use his, double the depth and "get a double image" for sensitivity and then set the depth back to auto! Scroll speed with depend of drift or motoring speed and width of screen!

Top dangling! Where is this blue anchor, Severn estuary?

I expect if we fished a continental shelf or mariana trench it would be useful! Spend the cash on important things, such as crew seating and a hammock!!

Nice to see them taking SC gently at 40knts!!!: "http://youtu.be/PNHEZ0LmGgc"

Ah, yes, collecting your bus pass in the morning hey!

No joke! I noted you had your name on the potpourri on the dash!

Enjoy!

Could it be? "VIDEO: Fisherman catches 300lb shark just a few miles from Swanage shore" http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/11481924.VIDEO__Fisherman_catches_300lb_shark_just_a_few_miles_from_Swanage_shore/

Ah yes, Sweet Chariot, but forgot to take our boots off!!! Saw the lavender Palmolive handwash and some hand moisturiser by the sink too!!!!

Not sure what brand mine are, but they are still ace after 8 yrs! I'll try and find out. Rob

Tomorrow (Thursday) at 14:00 we / along with MDL Marinas will be presenting monies raised from the Open to HOW @ the MDL stand. We will also be joined by Luke and his wife. Luke has benefited from the great service / opportunity offered by HOW. If you are going to the Boat show, please come and support us at 14:00. Thanks, Rob

Can you show a pic of how it plugs in? I assume you then need a specific case to keep the iPad watertight.

It's ok Derek, you can get cream for that!

Go for plastic ones like this: Fladen Outdoor Boat Rod Holder - Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002IEFCQ8/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_VV9fub0BAQ3SW Stainless ones less than £20 Each probably won't be 316 marine stainless and look awful after a year!

I've got 4, only really seen fresh water use!!! All seriousness, feckers!!!

I think any of the iPads with sim/3G/4G capability have the gps receiver chip. You don't need to put a sim in it for it to work, but with a sim it can fix your location quicker of startup as it uses phone masts to estimate you location. Hence a sim enabled iPad is worth the extra £100 if you are using it for nav!

Enjoy!

Fine, you can dump your boat on mud / a slip etc. but, if you keep it attached to the car, how do you launch at Baiter ? I assume: 1. The car is is 9"/12" of water - depending on draft of boat 2. You end up dumping the boat in not enough water and waiting for the tide or damage the boat getting it back in the trailer Also, how do you control the speed of the boat going off the trailer? Too quick and it could damage the transom / transducers etc?

I don't see how this could work with trailer still attached to vehicle on a shallow slip. Fine with plenty of water! Better off with movers on the wheels but they are ££££!

Ah, do you have Terry's old smoker? Good thing is, you can smoke your catch before you get back to the slip!!! Good luck with it, well looked after I'm sure and low hrs. Plus they shift them motors, R

also, you need the seals to be fuel proof. There shouldn't be any pressure and I would expect the tank to have a breather. You could always go a a fuel polish instead!
