Boat competition

Whats new Alan:D:D:D

not a lot Arthur, and by the way mackerel don't count, they have to be kept fresh and given to me, no using them as bait, such a waste.
Hope index finger heals by then it's the one I press the button with, it had an arguement with a one inch router bit going at full speed.

Norm, is that not the day it chucked it down? Andy W and his brother were with you and fished in the pouring rain with no tops on? Arrrggghhh! :D

I think I was on Tri-tech with Bob & his mate.
 
Aye Keith, but you cant tell everyone it rained on our comp ! :)

haha I remember people mentioning the rods sizzling as the thunder and lightening erupted ...... :) :)

but it was still a good day out and the sun came up as we sat at the weigh in on the bow of the earl of zetland with pints in hand :)

Add "Grace" to the list with a crew of 4 and the cat "Barbara Anne" has also expressed a wish to take part. Maybe prudent to mention that whilst "Barbara Anne" will have a crew of at least 4, there will certainly be plenty of room for a few more anglers if anyone wants to jump on.
