Is anyone going out tomorrow, the forcast is spot on. Going to try and get the water pump fixed tomorrow and hopefully get out Sunday.
 
We saw some of the kayak lads were out around StMary’s, when we drove to the Royal Quays marina - I’ll keep an eye out for their reports. Oddly, the car park was almost empty and we soon spotted why; the water was covered in ice and we were going nowhere. To make it worse, we drove home along the seafront when the sea was like glass.
One boat came back in to the marina mid afternoon crunching and grinding through the ice, everyone grimaced like it was the sound of bones breaking.

Spring must be getting closer as the marina is starting to get busy, we spent more time chatting than getting any work done. Hello to Blue Jasper, Bill and others and thanks for the advice and guidance Norman, I hope you got all your woodwork completed before it was too cold for the oil to dry.
 
Yer on the berths i am on 20+ boats seem to turn up in a week and tis full again.

Still too cold for any work from me, 5 weeks and i start it...see you down there i am sure, got plenty charts n that you can cast your eye over...thou most of the best ones we chatted about last year.
 
Aye cheers Kevin all done, got a bit snookered for the wash down though as water is off due to freezing conditions, still ,out with the old bucket on a rope ....... until I broke the handle off :) :) :) still a bit sanding dust left but maybe the overnight rain will of helped me :) :)

We fished the comp today, caught zero on bait but the shads meant we landed a few cod, Jim (Topfly) christened his new rod with 3 cod to win heaviest bag, Bert & myself managed 2 fish each so we managed to win boat average. Skull was fishing aboard another boat, he won heaviest fish with a 6lb+ cod. :)

Well done Jim & Skull. :thumbup:
