Why Ishtar can't reach hull speed.

;D


Also, what chance do you think Tigger has in the next picture?

Some more pics from the last couple of weekends. If it makes it look as if it is all sunshine and good weather, it most certainly has not been. Pictures of rain and clouds don't look very nice though......


All taken between Dale and the Upper Cleddau.

I hadn't even noticed this until a few minutes ago. I took a picture to show the growth on Ishtar's hull, not noticing something having a nibble......

I fished off the Dale pontoon when we were down there and hit one of those fish with a weight. He still wasn't interested in being caught! When we were in Tenby I caught two small red Gurnards, what a strange creature they are! Loads of spikes and they grunt at you. I need to get a good cookbook for all the fish I plan to catch now I have a proper fishing rod.

Allan - This one is pretty good - www.amazon.co.uk/Sea-Fishing-River-Cottage-Handbook/dp/1408801833/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1283845801&sr=1-2 .

It's an ideal small size book to keep on a boat.

Red Gurnard are Delicious. Nobody eats them, and they are often cheap to buy because they are so ugly.

Which is great!

Fillet and fry in butter, salt and black pepper. You'll soon wish you had caught more.
