Chicken Surprise A couple go for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and order the 'Chicken Surprise', The waiter brings the meal, served in a lidded cast iron pot. Just as the wife is about to serve herself, the lid of the pot rises slightly and she briefly sees two beady little eyes looking around before the lid slams back down. 'Good grief, did you see that?' she asks her husband. He hasn't, so she asks him to look in the pot. He reaches for it and again the lid rises, and he sees two little eyes looking around before it slams down.. Rather perturbed, he calls the waiter over, explains what is happening, and demands an explanation. 'Please,' says the waiter, 'What you ohder?' The husband replies, 'Chicken Surprise.' PLEASE SCROLL DOWN 'Ah! So solly,' says the waiter, 'I bling you Peeking Duck!'

Nice one stuie Roll on some warming weather

Not going to the Channel Islands then Trev

Now you are talking Adam I have a crew ready Just need a bit of help from the weather

Sam and I are lucky and do not feel the effects much Dan used to really suffer, he tried the wrist bands with limited success Then he tried eating dry ginger biscuits, they are now his preferred remedy. He has now grown out of it,as others have said regular trips helped, as does having a skipper who will take you in if you are really bad. but still eats the biscuits. Other things to avoid are; Hangovers Greasy food Being over tired Fizzy drinks and in my case Pork Pies Try to avoid looking down into the boat for long periods. It is much better to be in fresh air and looking at the horizon.

I use the gold chart, nice to use and accurate I believe that the size of the set determines if the sounder unit and transducers are included small ones come with it built in , the larger ones have a seperate box and transducer for more power and more choices. You can buy the plotter without the sounder, marketed by the mod No and M [Map only] Hope that helps

Nice to read that the 4 blade makes a big improvement and is therefore a good investment. That is the reason I went for the Duo Prop during build. Its never been about the WOT, although it is fun to have a blast at 30 knots occasionally. Especially when sports boats wave at the fishingboat as they go by, then look a bit shocked with our acceleration and speed. Its sustained cruising at reasonable consumption that is our main concern. If we can not plane it affects our fuel consumption , but not as badly as Adam describes. Charlie

Are we talking about the prop, or boat racing You know we do not race Awol Martin, its depressing to lose that often

Does that mean we will have that little race again this year Adam Lol

Only seen that once In simular weather, and a bit scary.

How did saturday go guys I had a lovely day in the harbour Charlie

We have a boat at work using this type of system It is due out next week, I will update you on what the hull looks like when it comes ashore Charlie

I fancy it mate But I am Instructing all weekend Very tight lines Charlie

Bound to be good weather I am on a boat without rods, Powerboat Instructing at the Yacht Club. Still its playing on boats, burning the Club's fuel.

Thanks Neal Did you notice six 100% are all different species, and 3rd place went to a Junior. Not supposed to be much about in Feb

Hi Mick I have just discussed this with our engineer, He has done this by fileing a slight chamfer on the trailing edge, as discribed in Nigel's article. He tends to do so with just a few strokes of a decent file, so does not take anywhere near as much off as the drawing in that article shows. Ian's belief is that it is the tips that sing, so he only chamfers the trailing edge about a third in from the tip. If you can not tell from the prop which is the trailing edge going forward. You will know the correct Direction of Rotation of the engine/ shaft so you can work it out from that. Hope that this helps, and your singing stops or is greatly reduced Charlie

Sorry Mick Got a bit distracted with work I will try my best to remember tomorrow give me a call 07887 794716 Charlie

Yes mate I have one, in front of the three bladed one that runs in the other direction. Bloody clever these duo props. Seriously I would discuss with Volvo mate to see what they suggest. I do not know how well they work on legs. On shaft drives they work very well to eliminate vibration and improve performance. Charlie

Bonsoir Craig J'espère que vous n'avez pas eu lieu ici beaucoup, parce que vous avez été occupés en améliorant votre français. Nous serons tous excités comme les approches de temps. tout le meilleur Charlie Google translate it mate You know that I did, born and bred in the West country We struggle with English

I doubt very much that the boys would join me, so I may be able to do that Adam as I have a few days holiday owing I will see if I can get a crew Charlie

I am sure that I should phone Rachael [Or use Facebook] to let her know that it is not compulsory to have new tackle every year for turbot fishing. We are all keen, just playing it cool [At the moment] Charlie

She looks lovely mate Almost a shame to cover the hull in salt spray Charlie

BLOODY DISGUSTING I FAIL TO UNDERSTAND WHY THIS CAN BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE IN 2013, FOR THE SAKE OF A TRENDY BOWL OF BLOODY SOUP. I WOULD FEED ALL OF THE MONEY GRABBING "FISHERMAN" TO THE FISH !!! CHARLIE

There is also Stainless Steve He was going to make some up for my back rails, which at 1 1/4" are to big for the Simpson ones. But replacing the radar took priority. Charlie

Great at last they have seen some sense
