Happy birthday Dean Hope that you have a nice night Charlie

That definately seemed to be the message that we heard at the Feb Club meeting, hardly fills me with hope that this is one of our best hopes for the future

They always r aise a smile Some are so stupid that they look to have been set up, who pulls the boat forward just as he swings the battery?

Welcome to the Club James The more you join in the more you will get out of your Membership. Very sensible start , asking about training and joining members to learn from their experiances. Charlie (boat name Alfresco)

I have a lowrance transom mount transducer on Alfresco Sighted inside the boat as , martin describes. It works fine, we get a usable reading up to about 20 knots. Mine was tested for position using blue tac, then glued in the bilge with an epoxy glue. It has been there for 7 yesrs now Charlie

Hope that he gets it back soon.

Happy birthday guys

Nearly fell for that Jim Until I got to the bit where you landed a few fish Raised a smile mate, thanks Charlie

All very well having sealed compartments, but I like to have limber holes down to the bilge I had that discussion with offshore after looking at the boats they finished, that seemed to have voids around tanks etc, their answer was that water should never get in so why worry about how it gets out. I still gave Alfresco lots of limber holes, so any water finishes up in the bilge or central lockers. Three main bilges all have their own pumps (hand and elec) so that water can be removed. No doubt your yard are looking at how to do that for you Nige

That window looks well closed now 60 knots again on Wednesday

Busy week at work Alun Tight lines if you get afloat

Another pic

Nice trip up with Dave to see the new boats progress She is coming on very well If I can reduce the picture size , I will post

Hi Chris Yes mate I will let Sam know, Fri night should be good Please give Sam a call when you get back Charlie

Anyone fancy a trip over there today? Not sure how much sleep we would get on the moorings Charlie

Happy Birthday Paul I hope that the weather in the mountains is better than it is here

Happy birthday mate Hope that you have a great day

Many a true word .....

Good luck tomorrow mate I hear that the entrance at Christchurch is a bit shallow, perhaps these big tides and lighter winds will clear it out a bit.

Well done Nigel, just the news that you wanted. Now its down to the yard to get the boat sorted and back afloat, so we can chase the fish together over those offshore marks Charlie
