great white

Just put that up on the notice board in my office. Must say that the four ladies seem to have taken it well.

Was that for the heater Chris??

Well done Bobbi Cleaned up in both competitions and well done Dave for helping consume all of those calories. Nice day to be out in the fresh air. Charlie

Some good fish holding banks in that area that would be lost, it would also have an effect on areas uptide of the hole. We may need to give a Club response against this.

Belated Birthday wishes guys Hope that you had a great time.

Battle Ship grey, lovely Actually they do look good in that colour, I am sure she will be great.

Oh go on then. Better add us to the list. Lol. Will have to check with the boys first then other crew. Charlie

Welcome to the Club Chris I am sure you will enjoy your Membership. Charlie C

Belated Birthday wishes guys Glad you had a good one Kevin.

Free trip if you manage to catch a Cod. Allan. Not risking much there mate

Great to be back afloat Thanks to Ian and Alan for great company and banter all day The fishing was on and off all day, explained a little by a small school of dolphins showing off as the tide eased in the afternoon. Thanks to Andy for organising the comp, and the food at the Liberal Club, it cannot be easy to run one when so few Cod are about. Maybe need to change the format again mate.

The forecast that I have seen , looks a tad too windy this weekend I am chomping at the bit to get back afloat , but that looks more than a little doubtful.

We had some on the wrecks in the summer Jim But cannot get a break in the weather to put to sea, so have not seen one this winter

Very sad loss at times he was the only way of watching our sport on the TV

Well done all we got there eventually, I presume it starts on 1st January 2019 Is that correct?

Oh dear that does not sound promising Jerry Boat not finished yet I guess

Thanks for letting us know guys

Bad enough for us that only get out at weekends, must be terrible for you Dave not getting your three trips a week.

Sorry Tony What was I thinking.

Everyone must know that we should have gone for a higher bridge that ; 1. Does not open/close 2. Does not therefore fail open or closed, bringing traffic to a stop. 3 Does not cost a fortune in maintenance over its lifetime 4 Does not need a team of 32 people and a dedicated VHF channel just to get it opening and closing to schedule.

Thanks guys The crap forecast seems to be well established so good decision to make the call tonight, Thanks

Neil on Tarlach, Sunday 18th Alfresco' Charlie , Ian Alan and PJ, Sunday 18th if weather OK

Happy Birthday Terry Have a great day

Hi Ray I have to agree with Neil That sounds like a very small engine for such a large boat, and not even run in yet. My last one was 23 ft and had a 60HP inboard diesel on a shaft, we cruised at about 12 knots If you are Happy with your capability and the boats then please be sure that you have done your research. and the fuel is full on departure IE leave Torquay on the Flood tide to get a push across Lyme Bay, arrive at Portland at slack tide to avoid the famous overfalls at the Portland race area. Plan a couple of bolt holes in case the weather gets bad [West Bay, Portland, Weymouth], and if necessary turn back to Torquay before getting into difficulty. Sorry to be so negative, but the sea has to be given respect. The forcast is bad this weekend and I seriously doubt many of us will be going afloat. If you go be very careful Charllie
