great white

Can get it cheaper in drums, but that is a pain at times.

Thanks Martin I have done that to follow up on the message left via his extension.

I have left a message , lets see how long that takes.

Glad that the trip was safe, love the write up Memories of how small boys ride bikes. LOL Mackerel were thick two weeks ago. Wed and Sat none 🤔 It is never great when that happens. Wendy and I walked the coast cliff path at Durleston on Friday, then Reel Magic cruised a long way down the Jurassic coast on Saturday. Neither day were there any feeding/diving birds to be seen. For info, I usually call out at 25W on Channel 6

Nice factual report, thanks Mal. I was out yesterday. Started with a couple of hours in the harbour, but the weed and boat traffic was bad. Moved outside, into a sheltered area A few bits and bobs but it was quiet. Moved further out, featherd a bit, but dropped the only mackerel hooked. Sort of weighed up the day. Great to be on my boat, but very slow fishing. Cannot win them all. Charlie

Tight lines Mal. I am out this afternoon, as I have booked a half day. Not sure yet if I am going out or staying in the harbour.

Popped over to see Pete He says that you can glue the sheets on with most things, contact adhesive, Silkaflex , CT1 etc but weigh it down well while the glue sets, for the later two. He has some sheets in his shop if you need them. Ref treating the aluminium, some wipe it with baby oil or this stuff

Hi Trev, Wow that looks great mate I think my soundproofing was sticky backed, but if not I would use something like CT1 to fix it. Or simply ask the supplier for their recommendation. I could ask Pete in Quay West chandlers if you want. On Alfresco the edges and joins were sealed with tape bought from the same supplier as the sound proofing sheets. I remember that this quite expensive though. Ref the chequer plate, I left mine bare and it is still in good nick after 18years, it has dulled quite a bit now though. Gary Austin treated his, when he built Prodigy and it stayed looking like new.

Fish on

Thanks, she looks great. I had a Wilson Flyer 18 when we moved to Dorset. she had a very similar windscreen, after I made it and fitted it, I had transformed the boats driving experience. Especially if there was spray or rain about. But not as much as when I swapped the engine for a new Yamaha 60 and removed half the bulkhead to make it into a cuddy like yours. I hope you have as much fun on her as we had on our flyer.

Great crack was always guaranteed with Nigel onboard. Us old danglers can always come up with a tale or two. Good to see the codfather back on the end of a rod
