great white

Hi all just heard from Mark who admits he is a bit out of touch has been on the Florida Keys for past 5 weeks Does not think that any charters have been yet, but it could start with a bump in May. hope that he is right. No one selling tackle on Island, but he still has some sundance wrecking terminal gear and lures and baits available.. macs at £1.00 each Bass restrictions are the same as ours If he is back he will join us for drinks and updates in the pub Has anyone talked to Mainbrayce about fuel , duty free and taxi?

Waiting for reply as i think he is in the Florida keys

Already asked that Oli

I have messaged Mark Harding to ask both of these questions

1. Tigerfish - Steve + Terry + Graham - (planning on Thurs 10th May to Sun 13th May. Depending on weather could shorten to a 3 days if needed or bring forward a little) 2. Reel Magic - Dave + Craig + Paul 5th - 8th May 3. Joint Venture - Adam + Ian + Alun + Rob Thurs 10th May to Sun 13th May 4. Madness - Martin - Dean - Tony 5th May - 8th 5th - 8th May 5. Sweet Chariot - Oli + Nick + - 5th - 8th May 6. Kingfisher - Chris + Mal + Jerry - 5th - 8th May 7. Alfresco - Charlie. Neil, Ian and Alan - 5th - late 7th May.

Go on admit it Who has started to check the Weather several times a day already. Oli found a good site, and I found the opposite.

Nice one mate we nurse sore heads at home sorting the garage out after getting up at 11 what light weights

Good advice not to move any pads fitted by the boatyard team. Over many years I have looked at this at work. In my personal experience two coats rolled on over the majority of the hull gives a decent coating. when lifted prior to launching I brush on paint in the pad areas which gives a similar thickness. even though this sometimes only dries for a few minutes I do not see and extra barnacles or other growth on these areas when the boat comes out next. So no need to take risks moving supports

Wow very bad news for the Family concerned and the Yacht Club. Condolences to them all

Good luck Dave Hope that you find some fish, look forward to your reports

Happy Birthday Derek Have a great one mate

Happy Birthday Jacob I expect that Kev has emptied Veals Mail order for you. Look forward to seeing you on Grandad's boat soon. Charlie and Wendy

Sorry after a weekend with no work done on the boat she will still be chocked up ashore.

Hope to see you guys out there. Will be onboard with Dave

Bon Soiree Mon Ami Happy Birthday Buddy, hope that you are enjoying a few French Cidres. Lol Charlie

Hoping to go 5th to 8th May dependant on weather and crew availability on those dates. Thanks for the kind comments about the skipper guys, starting to look forward to it already.

i wonder how long that had been afloat

Hi all My brother is looking into fitting something to his camper van to enhance weak WIFI reception on certain campsites Has anyone got any knowledge or experience of these and could offer any advice on types and costs and of course how good are these things? Charlie

We use those draw type scrapers at work Excellent for small areas I used one to do the whole of Great White , wouldn't do it again

You just need bigger hands Neil

1. Tigerfish - Steve + Terry + Graham 2. Reel Magic - Dave + 3. Joint Venture - Adam + Ian + Alun + Rob (i have taken the liberty to add the usual A-Team) 4. Madness - Martin - Dean - Tony 5. Sweet Chariot - Oli + Nick + 6. Kingfisher - Chris (looking at 5th - 8th May due to commitments) 7. Alfresco - Charlie. I will check if the boys want to come if not will be looking for crew. looks like most of the usual boats are keen to go again.

no tell tale flow can be as simple as dried salt in the tell tale connector, lift the cover off and disconnect the pipe inside or simply poke a bit of wire in from outside when the engines running and connected to a hose or afloat.. Happens all the time here at work.

Hi Hooky I had a 17ft Wilson Flyer that was very heavy built as a one off. It performed badly with a cheap 45HP on the back so I fitted a new 60HP Yamaha. Wow what a difference, great after that. Are you sure that the Yamaha has a terminal problem, does it look cooked by overheating? Or is the the water flow a minor thing.

Nice on Stuie Sounds like a great trip in nice weather.

Not a bad shout Rob Has worked for me in the past fishing downtide of the spoil grounds
