great white

great to see you are back mate early season trip to the Island was tough fishing , but the brilliant weather made it a great trip

Not really he and his girlfriend have big plans to go travelling again later in the year.

He would be welcome, but unfortunately will not be coming due to a couple of things to do on Sat before guests visit.

Clean sweep, well done Alun

Out for a meal with Dan last night, he may now join us to take the spare space on board. If he gets a pass. Lol

OK which ones do we try. Lol

Thanks Guys Off to the pub for beer and dinner tonight. Need the practise before Alderney Happy Birthday Dave , hope that you are enjoying your first one after retirement

As usual Charlie, you will be welcomed with open arms ! Discounts will be applied as per usual and I have booked a heat wave with no wind. So make sure you pack your shorts and bring the sunscreen ! Kind regards, Michael.

I could not get through on either phone so I hope that this gets to you. As usual myself and many friends from the PBSBAC are looking forward to some trips across in our private boats, to enjoy the hospitality of the Island and the better fishing than we get here in Poole. The first planned dates [5th May – 8th May] are now only 10 days away, when we hope to bring 5 boats and about 20 anglers across. This will of course depend on the weather , so could you please arrange for a spell of calm weather at the end of next week please. [ Joking of course but we have our fingers well crossed] If the weather is against us, many will try again on other weekends. You have always looked after us in the past with discounts on Fuel and the Water Taxi plus organising duty free for those that would like some. Would you be kind enough to repeat that again this year and if possible let me know what you are able to do, so that I can pass it on to my friends. Best regards Charlie Chapman CMM

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

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
