  2. And help in case of some emergency, anyone can pick up a rope around the prop or other impediment.
  3. An industry progressing towards extinction. Most businesses, if they want to sell more and expand, make more of the product they are selling. The fishing industry is continually making itself more efficient to catch more fish but does nothing to sustain it's product. When will they realise that this cannot continue indefinitely. I don't think any of us have noticed an occasion when fish was in short supply in our supermarkets so, where are the extra fish going? Probably the excess is sold off for things like fish meal, etc. Fish are too valuable an asset to be squandered this way.
  4. Or in it's own section as it used to be, possibly, with a section on the header.
  5. Back to the drawing board, I think. I would also be quite nervous undertaking a cross channel trip to waters you don't know unaccompanied.
  6. Have a great cake day, Dave.
  7. Ta!
  8. I have looked diligently but cannot find the calendar anywhere. Any hints?
  9. Are there flounders in Cobbs? Bar and café handy.

    Fenders

    Hoorah! It did work. I don't need any big ones, it's only a Warrior 165. I'll be down in Poole this weekend until Monday, What are you doing Saturday?

    Fenders

    As from 1st April, Stingray will be resident in the stack at Cobbs Quay. So, anyone got any suitably sized fenders in the way? I think 3 should be fine for when she is chucked in the water.
  13. Do you need a windlass on a 17ft boat? I would have thought an alderney ring set up would be sufficient.

    Short stories

    Well worth the effort.
  15. Are there any flounders about?
  16. Always do, the family see to that.
  17. Thank you all for your kind wishes. Unlike some people, I think getting older is great, considerably better than the alternative!
  18. If one doesn't need to access it, it will run on standby for 90 days and one then just recharges it. I have it tucket up behind the gunnel so I can access it easily for recharging, also waterproof.
  19. I've just bought a tracking device to hide away on my boat in case some light fingered git makes off with it. Seems a bargain when matched with a pay as you go sim and it works well, you can even listen in to it with the sim. I commend it to the house.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Waterproof-Tracking-Powerful-Standby-PS110/dp/B01KX9HFWI/ref=pd_rhf_yast_6?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01KX9HFWI&pd_rd_r=RBJJXGAA8153YVA30CR6&pd_rd_w=I7kc2&pd_rd_wg=PTQ7s&psc=1&refRID=RBJJXGAA8153YVA30CR6
  20. I normally launch from Wick, always happy for a midweek trip. I see you're into VeeDubs, I upgraded my expedition camper to a Porche engine, didn't struggle up hills afterwards.
  21. Nice to see you're still in touch, Craig, we must catch up sometime.
  22. I have an unused Navionics Gold Card of UK, Ireland and Holland if anyone is interested, going cheep!
  23. Is the suggestion that you are relying on your tablet rather than a chartplotter?
  24. Don't know this one, I think most of us use the Navionics app.
  25. Again, thanks for the input, I shall hi me to Wareham ASAP.
