  1. I'm inclined to agree Steve. I have no idea how experienced or not the victims were at small boating, but ultimately they (we) must also take responsibility for their (our) own safety too.
  2. Sounds delicious. Are you going to mould it around a stone to help it stay put on the bottom?
  3. Oooh, that's a low blow πŸ–•πŸ€£
  4. Yes, but the decomposition of ancient organic matter will be buried way deeper than the 20-30cm or so that beam trawling scrapes up, so this must be relatively recent matter e.g. in the last several hundred years or so that is contributing to greenhouse gas warming. That's the bit I found eye-opening that I hadn't considered before.
  5. Looks like it does just pull off. Only two bolts and nothing else to stop it. Give it a gentle tap with a soft faced mallet and it should come free. https://www.ricambimotorimarini.com/en/sea-water-pump-970311169b.html
  6. Just PM'd it to you. All updates most welcome as I have ants in my pants about missing the salt. Catch reports help to sooth the itch! 🀣
  7. Well, keep us posted. Reports and pics most welcome! πŸ‘
  8. Agreed, but what I found interesting was the C02 release. Yet another good reason to ban bottom trawling and hopefully lends weight to the argument.
  9. 🀣🀣 wtf happened there? Did you have the DT's when posting? Get back into the garage if so! 🀣
  10. Scraping the barrel with the Guardian, I know. There was a similar article from the BBC but this one described it better. Besides, I'm stuck inland remember?! No bottom trawling in the marina showers for me, yer honour! 🀣
  11. Looking forward to a report... with pics this time πŸ˜‰πŸ‘
  12. Oooh, good call. And go for the full effect with some bottle-green cords.
  13. @FreeDinky is clearly speechless in awe of your tub Neil! Words escape him 😁
  14. This is very insightful - thanks. I can think of a couple of places like that in Portsmouth and Langstone Harbours where I could get the boat anchored up. Will give your approach a try πŸ‘
  15. As excuses for blanking go Martin, that's one of the most creative... πŸ€” "Sorry lads, I can't come fishing this weekend, I've got to polish my rod holders" 🀣
