[SIZE=7]HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERY ONE[/size] BEST WISHES TONY

Newtons Cove is in the corner by the end of the North Portland Harbour wall and the piece of land that becomes the Nothe just down from Castle Cove There is no where to go there, it is a blind alley, i used to fish it!! Weymouth boats seem to have a thing about it though many years ago I used to fish the Breakwater competitions and White boats were doing the ferry business of course one year the FOG arrived and we headed north from the central break water and after negotiating the harbour entrance kept going , the skipper had to change direction sharply when the Nothe wall arrived in our vision 30 yards away Fortunately we did not run aground, I suspect white boats have a shallow draft. Anyway my garmin 550 updates quickly to follow the track in the fog and has got me to Rockley in the pitch black several times any problems set plotter to North up, not track up and this saves updating time I learnt this 2 years ago after circling the same boat 3 times in the fog with the chairman on board. tony

Bugger me this looks like politics thats why I go boating to avoid all this craziness last year these people used to keep me in a job this year it is their parents Anyway Merry Xmas and a good new year to all club members Tony

I will be in Okehampton so unable to join in Tony

Done Tony

Serenity will fish places for 2 crew please contact 07733101037 Tony for a place nice heated boat tony

check the weather forecast first predicting 30 knots wind Tony

Adam Even Serenity has a problem getting on the pontoon in a 30 knot wind needed 3 yard hands to capture me last time Tony

I use shackles that are tightened with an alen key and put my anchoring rig together each time I use it it is important to avoid any protrusion that will prevent the Alderney ring sliding over the shackel to the chain and down to the anchor Tony

I would not invest too much fuel in the trip straight out is probably as good as any where - to the slates maybe a 25 pounder came out some where to the west of the bay last weekend good luck Tony
