great white

Hi all The weather as usual is playing a blinder I have spoken to Martin and Adam and a final decision will be made on the Competition tonight. It sounds as if individuals are already deciding keep an eye on the Forum someone will post the decision as soon as its made If we reschedule it will be soon so the bream are still available, If that means Burnham can not re-schedule on the same date we will worry about that later. Charlie

I was putting a more personal tint on it Duncan Our boats are the same size, and I would of thought that range safety would know the range was foul and not shoot. Do not want to spend hours and hours [as Fred did] fitting out the boat to be taken out by "Friendly Fire" That said I have seen enough Naval gunfire to know that if they could hit a 30ft boat at that range it would be a lucky shot. [although I doubt if Fred would consider it lucky] I have a few marks within the range area, so I will need to check the Number James posted on another thread, next year before going there. Charlie

Nice of you to shoulder the blame for another member (when I/we missed the channel !). I had not realised that Stuart was charging so much. Charlie

Fred were you taking incoming at Dancing ledge area? Or have I read the post wrong and you were in the range area. still a worry if they were using the range with a boat the size of yours in it. Charlie

Thanks for the number James I had thought you had one to many zero's but I have called them and your number is right. If you are interested they are fireing to 1700 today But as the forecast is force 8 I doubt there are to many boats fouling the range today Charlie

Dave just to add another spanner in the works Have you onsidered Dry Stacking the boat? I am not sure of costs but it can be done at a few places locally, and as you are paying storage it may be an option. The boat is not in the water so avoids the corrosion and anti fouling problems Staff launch and retrieve the boat at a booked time and while not in use its stored some insurance companies reduce premiums for it apparently. I obviousl Antifoul my boat and houndreds of others at work so if you want advice or a chat on what we use pop around. Charlie

My deepest sympathy Tony, bloody awful when the gear goes overboard. Peter should have entered the dolphins comp as his best would have been a winning fish, but hindsight is a great thing. Charlie

Hi Paul I get the stolen boat bullitins at work be email I could forward them to you if you would like to post them for info Charlie

James Now if you start hauling specimen tope and Hound I will start to pine for a trip and may even get tempted away from boat building for a day. Tight lines mate Someone has to get the tope trophy now that GW has gone, and I suppose the conger trophy as usual. Charlie

have you been sniffing teh gripfill again Mike? You need to get out fishing mate. Charlie

Nice one Alun Its a hell of a place to fish but not for the faint hearted or a novice to try on his own. a good plotter on a big screen would help I think The daytime fishing is good and night congering used to be very good Charlie

Well done the PBSBAC crews Martin and Fred equal 1st and I believe Gaz Austin 3rd Thanks for taking Dan with you Martin he had a great time, enjoyed the boat company and the fishing Charlie

Hi Billy and well done Sammy showing the old man how its done. as the pontoon is not a boat I do not thionk we can count that one mate charlie

Nicely "Cleaned up" rich Its not how I remember that old joke Charlie

Duncan I would have thought that your Huss gulley would be a good start any Deep water over 40 mtrs about 2 miles out from the lighthouse gives you a great chance Charlie

I have just checked and although it was not as big as Pauls fish this year or Martins of last duncans fish caught from his own boat is in fact a new Club record Nice one Mate I am not sure how long it will stand with other boats going back again very soon But its there now New Club Turbot record 9lb 9oz Duncan Mackie Alderney May 5th 2006 Charlie

When I last looked at google earth I believed it to be up to date but on checking the yacht club it did not show the changes to the marina that are now 4 years old the pictures may be a lot older than you think try looking at west bay or even your house to see which car is on the drive? Charlie

Thanks guys I expect you can guess where I will be and what I am up to after getting the cooker and sink last week at Beulie the galley moulding has been cut to size at last. As that part will not fit through the door it had to be worked out prior to fitting other items. a sequance of jobs has now started, including SAT fitting the bow roller fitting, then the first length of 75mm fender to ensure that the fixings are in and excess length removed prior to fitting the back bulkhead and galley SUN Final fitting of the stbd side of the Back bulkhead, tack in Fully glassed in just prior to going out for "all you can eat" chinese meal Mon Late start open a few presents and recover from All you can eat. Start to fit and bond in Galley unit She is starting to take shape now and will really change when the windows arrive in a few weeks I hope you have a good birthday Dave and are a little less busy than I am Tight lines to the lads in alderney Charlie

Nice one mate Those bilge supports okk the business and great to hear that work is nearly finished, I wish mine was on a day when the weather is so good. but I did know it would take a while Tight lines Charlie

Nice one carl always good to get a good first trip Charlie

Nice to see that a few summer fish are about Humphrey phoned earlier to say he had 4 tope onboard today so at last I should get a few to add to the book The boys and I have been busy working on the boat today but were wonmdering how others were getting on tight lines charlie

She is a cracker Fred and the new addition looks good you have something to fall on to from the Alderney water taxi now then mate tight lines in the islands hopefully we can join you next season so get those banks sussed out Charlie

Thanks for the offer But the boys have Sats and exams to prep for and I am a little busy Tight lines Charlie

So far only results are from Coddy Bill Mike F Carol F George F Bob F Chris G and Gordon H I am afraid that working on the new boat has prevented me looking in to why my emails so bad, and building work at the club is keeping me very busy there as well. I have not recieved a list of those people who booked in with peter so its hard to chase up who has not recorded results If you made the effort to compete, please make sure I know how you got on. Charlie

Hi all glad to see that a few were among the fish I am not sure why but my emails are only arriving from a few people If you have sent score sheets I have not recieved any please send again to [email protected] as I believe the problem is with my address not wendys, I will reply to all that i receive if not send as a pm Charlie
