The skeg are is delicate - probably on purpose, semi sacrificial - it's the bit that hits the bottom first - if it was super strong it would be the transom that took the impact. I passed you on the Wessex Way heading south that morning. I was out with Alun, we were squidding off Boscombe and had a hat full - great fun and super tasty!

Good work gents... nasty repair job is that. How did it hold up?

I use the same as Rob - must be 20 years old and still on the same battery. Lived on the boat all of their life and no issues with saltwater!

50/70mm battery crimping tool here if you need to borrow it.

Are they Tuna proof? Asking for a friend.... 🤪

Dont forget the new chart needed for relief shading - circa £240 alone for the South Coast.

Incredible Jim!

Very clever soundtrack Jim - assuming you used AI to create?!

Thats a big Aux for a Warrior - I used to carry a 2.5hp, sits lovely on an Aux bracket. Slow to get you home but at least you get home. Now I carry a full size 150hp Spare engine.... 🤪

Me too please

Kodiak will be out and about somewhere. Will be on Ch6 as usual

Reuben proving himself quite the bass angler...

Great job Mal & Chris - I look forward to the write up.

Kodiak's report: I had deer stalking buddy Pete onboard, and as we were locked to Sat with the breezy forecast opted to stay inshore. We fished the Patch for the morning - a little mark I found a few weeks back - a real honey hole, of what I assume are black bream nests - the sounder was wild! A 1lb box of squid was gone in no time and we were only fishing 1 rod each. But whilst it was non-stop action, the stamp of fish was very average. Best fish to me (as only member counting) was 1Lb 12oz. After a few hours of manic fishing the powerboats started up, and we soon found that we were in the middle of the racetrack. Whilst it was pretty cool to see these monsters zooming past at what I assume must have been over 60 knots, it killed the fishing pretty quickly! Pete asked it Kodiak was quick enough to keep up.... I never run her at anything like WOT, but a quick blast proved that 36 knots was still someway short! Plan B was back in the harbour out of the wind after a Gilthead. The plan worked when wind, tide and weed aligned and it was pretty hectic fishing. We had about a dozen gilts, including a new PB for me.... and only 1oz under Charlie's club record.... MAN... do they fight. I think they might just be the hardest fighting fish lb for lb we have. For Charlie's overall catch and release record, black bream - 40 fish caught, 5 retained. Gilthead, 12 caught, 3 retained. My Fish: Black Bream - 1lb 12oz Gilthead Bream - 2lb 12oz
