How high were the winds in that case? Curious to know at what windspeed the dry stack pros start getting twitchy.

sorry but i can't remember , it was a few years ago, is the forecast wind direction bad for the racking .

This is a good suggestion. @Scotch_Egg2012's boat is on the top row of the same rack as mine in our marina. Scott, do you know if the dry stack team move the top boats off? Guessing they probably don't have enough ground racks for all the boats on both top rows though.

it's only happened once but they made new cradles to take the boats that could not be put lower in the rack

the dry stack people should lift the top row down onto cradles if the wind is from a dangerous direction, my boat is in the stack with dale sailing in neyland pembs, and thats what they did .

you're not a big fan then 

it's a con

that one seems to have sunk without trace luke.

I’ve read some of his books years ago (puckoon and Hitler- my part in his downfall) 

spikes war memoirs are the funniest books i have ever read, only books i have laughed out loud to.

not forgetting you also need to be a world class mind reader for the times she has the miseries because you allegedly forgot something she said last week when you know damn well she didn't say it.

when fishing (at anchor) cut the bag of and sporadically throw one in front of the boat

correct 😄

my method is to blend old baits and fish bits from the freezer(thaw first) to a fine paste, then fill zip lock bags 6''x4'', whilst filling add a few stones to ensure it sinks and stays put on the bottom. re-freeze until needed. when fishing (at anchor) cut the bag of and sporadically throw one in front of the boat so it settles under the stern where the baits will be. please note this is a shallow water method. just my two pennyworth. 

agree with SID, i have used wicked a couple of times and excellent service and quality product.

My best was a bus....

Basically I was fishing a road bridge called the lougher bridge for flounder. 
 

I put my rod down and there was a bus waiting behind me in a queue of traffic. Bus driver opened the door to ask has I had much etc.... in this exchange I had somehow managed to get my rig stuck in the door. I didn’t know until he drove off and promptly emptied my reel....

just as well it got away, can't imagine the size of frying pan you would need for a bus.

poor luke is getting a proper roasting, bet he remembers the tv advert promoting lamb from years age with the tag line -slam in the lamb. think it means something different to him though.

no need to ram it down his throat.

no mention of his sheep dogging either.

many years ago fishing a pool in small stream for brownies i pulled out a rather dead and soggy rabbit, no i didn't keep it.
