And heavy duty hatch. Terry.

I used Wick for years and always found it most hospitable with plenty of parking and quite enjoyed the ride down the river to the entrance. It has the added advantage of giving your engine a flush in fresh water. Watch the channel and yes, the entrance can be challenging but, during the summer, it is normally well and reliably marked. Alun is obviously the meister on the entrance and yes, he uses Mudeford slip which is only a few yards from the entrance. Terry.

EU regs, they should not be used here, obviously! A remoaner designed the poster. Terry.

Nothing the matter with 40, I'd do it again Terry.

I wonder if one could crowd fund for a 'contract' on Putin? Would there be any takers/givers? Terry.

I have to say, I did consider changing to hydraulic steering, Baystar from choice but there are cheaper options out there and easy enough to fit oneself. Terry.

I have IceyTek 70ltr long box and 40ltr cube one which seem to cover most of my needs for both catch and provisions. I only tend to use the bigger one for longer trips and it keeps cold for 5 days with ice still in there, although obviously depleted. Not being a fishmonger, I find this plenty for my needs. I do have a trolley as supplied by IceyTek for transporting to and from the boat which at my time of life is a god send. I also have a Coleman which I use for inshore trips which is fine for a day until the following morning but the quality is not as good and it is starting the break up. A little tip I use, put blobs of bath sealant mastic on the bottom of the boxes to stop them sliding around on the deck. Terry.

Mr. Deputy Chairman, he needs very little encouragement to get his equipment out. Terry.

Is that like a facelift? Any other 'modifications" planned? Terry.

A very happy cake day young Greg, soon be summer. Terry.

Terry.

Happy birthday Martin, how many years are you trying to get away with this year? Terry.

Have a great day Brian, better weather is coming, I promise. Terry.

I wonder what prompted the change in forum name? Terry.

Happy birthday Ian, or is it in New Zealand? Perhaps it is in 6 months time. Terry.

I'm sure they did, on him! Terry.

Should have called in, that's where I live. Terry.

I think my first job would be to strip it down and see what the problem is, it might just be a broken spring or suchlike, in which case an easy fix. These drives were used a lot on narrow boats which is where I first encountered them, Chertsey Meads Marine may be a good source of advice and/or parts. If you are stuck, I'm sure there are club members who are adept and would lend a hand. Terry.

Reverse locking pin or spring either seized, undone, broken or missing. Terry.

Victoria perhaps. Terry.

Terry.

So, you're also into ladies and shoes? 😉 Terry.

Nice to see a club member in this edition. Terry.

I've just ordered one on line which have not been available for a while so, obviously, supplies are going up again. Terry.

Possibly see you out there. Terry.
