Yep I'll have one and a small O/B to power it. I think Neil has one too.

14 days to go! Forecast now available - the countdown starts! http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/14days.asp?zipcode=poole

Sorry Bob, didnt check you were free. Space on JV for two if anyone wants a trip?

1.) Alun J 2.) Gordon M 3.) Charlie C 4.) Dan C 5.) Adam F 6.) Bob F 7.) Gordon H 8.) Chris G

So it is!! Bad admin - sorry! In that case - go out bag a load of different species and then report them - even easier!!

This Sunday is the start of the PBSBAC comp calender. The format for Sunday is species hunt, so simply go out, bag a load of different species and report them to me - easy! As per the club rules, please register here, by phone, in person or carrier pigeon if you want to fish! 1.) Alun J 2.) Gordon M 3.) Charlie C 4.) Dan C

Thanks Neil - frankly if your going you'll want these! I'll print off a handful and laminate them for the skippers.

Can someone bring charts as mine are on the boat. The idea is to have a chat around leaving times, agendas and where and what to fish for, buddy boats etc - to be honest it's more for the boats who havent been over before so they know what to expect. ' Tom B in Arvor shocker!!!' Never thought I'd see the day Tom, thought you were a Jeanneau though and through....

On JV mate. Will let you know.

7pm - Bakers Arms it is then http://www.vintageinn.co.uk/thebakersarmspoole/ I wish we were going next week - the weather looks cracking!! Which also worries me, I'd rather get the windy stuff out of the way now! BTW - Plan B for me will be moving the trip 1 or 2 weeks and setting off with the same plans. Worth bearing in mind....

Will see if can get a pink pass and join you Charlie. 50/50 at the mo.... been canning the brownie points lately!

Oli, We will be leaving from Parkstone too and have a similar sized boat - Joint Venture - Aquafish23 - happy to buddy up with you as much as possible. We will have 3 onboard and will cruise up to 24 knots if its flat and as slow as is comfortable if its bumpy. The worst I'd want is a F4/5 SE as others have mentioned - even then I'd want an improving forecast - there is always another weekend. We are aiming to leave the marina about 6-6.30am. I'm staying onboard, the others are either camping or have a B&B. The B&B's vary - some will sting you if you cancel, others are sympathitic - have a ring round - but this late you may be limited - have a look at the camping option if not? Looking forward to it! Adam

He makes a habit of getting lifts back in by the big orange boat! Sorry mate only messin - hope it aint serious and all ended well?

Good signs chaps! http://www.alderneyangling.com/latestreports.htm

Is this a catch report? Re. re-coding the VHF - needs to go back to the manufactuer.

Good news Bummer about the old one, but will be great to have AWOL on the trip. With all the bad luck, youre due a bit of good - lets hope the weather and turbos shine in your direction! ATB

Sh$t! That is bad news, I really feel for you mate. Like others I can believe that something so new and with so few hours is virtually scrap?? Best of luck getting it sorted.

Thanks guys - it hasnt seemed that birthday like this year - a 5am start and 7pm finish at work, all the while the sun has shone! Never mind - I'll have it on Friday instead!

Great news! Just in time for a shake down for May 1!

It's a good point Bob - as far as I know, no one has bothered in the past (edit: because they havent needed to!) Dont know the answer really, youre probably more likey to need it than your average family trip to Spain....

They are pretty much there all year round mate.
