great white

good luck did that a few years back out late afternoon for a bit of fun then inshore in the dark for sole, had a couple but did not enjoy dodging pots on the ledge on the way home in the dark, so have not done it again.

Bloody typical Weather great and we have a couple of things we need to be home for Saturday evening May have to go out early on Sunday Good luck Adam, have a good trip we may see you on your way back

I would be interested or even a very long one day trip

Hi All Any decent rigger should be able to crimp up the hard eyes on your SS wire cable. they do that all the time for stays for masts. XP rigging Rig Shop etc

Good luck with your search It is so hard to find a boat that meets requirements that I have designed and fitted out my last 2 myself. It is also why several other Members have boats built bespoke. But both take time and patience. 12 years on still very Happy with Alfresco [an offshore Pro Charter 30]. We have diesel power for efficiency and a top speed of over 30 knots, so no problem towing toys. The boat will be a compromise so take your time choosing and get as close as possible within budget. Like other I would suggest that if you want to take ladies and kids onboard you should not discount beds, toilet and galley They are the things that make my boat so enjoyable to be on for long trips out and multiple day trips away. Try telling your Mrs to invest serious money then have to P in a bucket. LOL Charlie

A couple from Wednesday returning from Swanage 20200624_210621.heic 20200624_210706.heic

Classic nice one Neal Boy has he [and his hair ]grown

Oh Boxes of Dead Conger I remember those days, thank god they have passed

Thanks Steve Great report Sounds like a busy trip

I am out tomorrow Ben But just Wendy and I, so I do not think she will go for a run to the shambles. She should be on a cruise at the moment [Monaco tonight] so even an offer of a look at the cruise ships may not convince her. LOL

Nice Job Oh the wrecks will love those. LOL

Thanks terry Who knew??

A couple of each would be great Ben Thanks Buddy

Not sure either of you will forget that day Adam Like Martin I still remember it and we were not there

Well done on insisting on a sea trial and finding that problem. Very good decision to back away quickly. That is a major problem that would be hard to fix. Good luck in your search. Keeping boats on swinging moorings is fine but it has draw backs You need to check them a lot more than in a Marina and everything takes a little more effort and a little more time at either end of a trip. That said I have done it for many years and still do

One Happy Chap back afloat last week.

I will try to recall my angling history from when I was a young lad until the present day and post in the next few days no sure I have the memory, lol Nice write up Adam

Are mine the white or green ones Ben?

Well done Jim Easy to get distracted and also to get to many choices and choose the wrong spot I did the same myself on Saturday

yes that the one Jerry cannot remember her name

Perhaps we should ask that lady that comes to our meetings

Good luck everyone Look forward to seeing reports The steering ram seals have gone on Alfresco, she will have to come ashore next weekend to swap them out and do a few jobs. But I really like gardening more than fishing anyway. Lol NOT

Hi Gaz Welcome to the Club

While we are on a bass ban, or just allowed one fish Excuse me if I do not cry over the fact the commercials cannot make money out of taking all they can catch. As for the oyster farmers, the things will still be there on their strings when this is over and the market reopens Just my brief thoughts

Thanks all Had Steak beer and a great evening Glad to see you did too dave
