For a while I thought the sun had come out...
We shouldn't have any trouble spotting you on the water. <img src="/emoticons/default_laugh.png" alt=":lol:" data-emoticon="" /> <img src="/emoticons/default_laugh.png" alt=":lol:" data-emoticon="" />
Greetings Retrowagon.
Welcome to our club.
( I was sure I'd posted this once ) but there it was - - - - - - GONE !
Maybe it's just my age . . . or lack of fishing . . or both ! !
That was my thought Brian
Imagine the scene .........
Me " hello is that the coastguard"
CG "yes"
Me "I'm in trouble I have no idea where I am"
CG "ok don't panic, what boat are you in?"
Me "I'm the really big bloke waving in the bright yellow tiny boat"
CG "ok we see you"
So it might have it's benefits eh ? I'm not a white boat in a sea of white boats :0)
Not sure I would stray out the harbour, stay safe and learn your and your boat's limits in a safe environment!
Poole harbour can get very sloppy / choppy so be ware!!

Welcome to the club. Some boats are small. It's what you do with them.
See you afloat
Lofty
Hello!
Hello!
Nice one Charlie
Charlie going by your monthly reports I was expecting at least a 10 page welcome <img src="/emoticons/default_laugh.png" alt=":lol:" data-emoticon="1">
Thanks rob that's exactly why I bought this boat is to get experience on the water and if I get on well I'll move onto bigger and better things in a couple of years.
Look forward to bumping into you lofty ... Well not literally lol
Charlie ... Hello back ... Seems you are a man of many words <img src="/emoticons/default_smile.png" alt=":)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />
Been down to the quay today about moring it at the quay for a week to leave it in the water to make it a bit easier to have ago as it were. Also would be able to take my daughter out for her birthday in her birthday gift ... A life jacket <img src="/emoticons/default_smile.png" alt=":)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think Charlie was having a rest Martin..
Well still haven't put the boat in the water yet <img src="/emoticons/default_sad.png" alt=":(" data-emoticon="" srcset="/emoticons/sad@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /> haven't got brave enough .. Lol
Still on the look out for a small aux outboard.
But have met a couple of members which have been very helpfull.
Can't believe I missed the monthly meet, but will be at the next one, I also will be joining the club as it's been so nice to get so much info and look forward to getting more .
Just need to get brave.

Congrats on the boat! Rather than worry about an aux engine make sure you have a decent vhf radio (being able to yell for help is best, if you have a.spare engine but run out of fuel...
we are Weymouth based but if you want a few trips we will.be looking for crew soon
