AHoy Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 My co-skipper might not be available so looking for a standby crew for following trip. Collect my boat (MF805) from Plymouth next Friday or Saturday or Sunday (19th or 20th or 21st) subject to weather and final arrangements and deliver to Poole, 2 day passage. Day 1, Plymouth to Brixham, overnight at Brixham (Torquay alternative port). Day 2, Brixham to Poole. So as I can have the odd rest (and as back-up) crew needs to be a competent coastal skipper and boat handler. Boat will be fully equipped for coastal passage making. Travel to Plymouth either evening before trip or on morning of first day. All expenses paid (assuming no exotic tastes or extreme habits ). Probably no time for fishing (no tackle on board either). Bearing in mind this is all to be finalised is anyone interested? Alan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHoy Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Thanks to those who contacted me, my regular co-skipper managed to free up some time and join me. Boat safely delivered according to plan. AHoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHoy Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 "Should have had more patience and realised MF805 meant Merry Fisher 805" Thats ok Pete, sounds like you have been keeping your focus on the rod tips rather than the PC screen Unlike some, still no boat cabin heater yet though - not enough left in the piggy bank for that.

gaffa Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Alan, Heater was very useful on Sunday when it turned a little chilly. Dont forget to let me know when you're in the market for one and I'll give you the name of the guy I got my spare system from. The old boat went very nicely on Sunday it looks like the engine's properly sorted now and the ride was pretty good even considering the confused sea. We were averaging about 18knots at 4000rpm and hit a few waves pretty hard but with no spray coming aboard it was a result. So with boat now in fine fettle I only have to concentrate on my fishing technique and associated boat handling skills. Interested to hear that there was only diesel at Brixham- No point in me heading over there then! PeteG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
