Porthcawl and I have had a claim which was dealt with with the minimum of stress.

I take it you are the new owner of it, better you found it now rather than later.

That's a shitter that, but as has been said, It's spot on now
Onwards and upwards

I was thinking old split pin and gripfil 

Thats bad news @240z, but on the bright side just look at the fact that you can be safe in the knowledge that all is 100% now.

Sorry to hear that. What a pain! 😭

Just spray a little glass cleaner on first and then wipe it down

Hi mate, 
the rubber shrinks over time so if you can get it out and take it to the nearest aluminium window manufacturer they can supply new rubber,, it is sometimes worth going up to the next size seal.

Got out today, two nice undulate ray a conger and a few whiting but n a sniff of a cod 

First drift 3 mackerel, want these all summer, can’t find them!!! 
 
Emma with a dogfish (why I don’t know, must follow Andy’s reports)

Yep. Come on @240z, let's see and hear it in full technicolor please! 🤣👍

Before boats I used to drive 2-3 hours to get out a charter as lived in midlands.
Boat is currently 2 hours away in Milford haven but doesn’t stop any trips.
How far to Hartlepool? I know of a guy whose boat is Penarth but lives up north of Birmingham. 
 
Rhere was amother who lived in Antsy and kept boat in Cardiff for winter and Whitby for summer 

Thanks Steve. Obviously Lincs would welcome Alan, but Liverpool may suit better as it is well away from Norfolk. Geoff.☺️

There are moorings at Boston as well as on the Welland tho that may be a bit far inland. Boston to Derby is doable in about 2 hours

🤣🤣🤣 🖕

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
funniest thing I’ve seen all day!
We ALL know what your going to catch so how come you don’t?

I live about a 90 min drive from my boat. Always have done so I don't know any different. Would I love to be nearer the boat? Of course, but being close is not why I go boating, it's the love of the sea, the boat and the adventure of not knowing what I'll catch - and I'm prepared to travel for that.
If you feel the same, I'd be surprised if you decide to just stop boating - if anything I suspect you'll find you start to value your trips out all the more - the harder you have to work for something the sweeter it becomes.
That said, only you can decide what trade-offs you're prepared (or able) to make. I guess it depends on how good the new job is. Derbyshire is indeed a long way from the sea. If it were me I'd look to move the boat as close as possible and see how it goes doing the commute to the boat. If it really doesn't work out you can always sell it but at least you gave it a try. You might surprise yourself. Good luck in whatever you choose.

Not too far from the lincs coast, you could take Geoff out with you so he could get a taste of what a finished boat is!! There are options tho in all seriousness. The sea is never that far away in the UK. Not that far to go say Liverpool way either, roads are better that way

Not sure I’d give up boating unless my arms fell off or I became homeless. 
All depends on circumstance I suppose.
