Odyssey

Agree....
Now a nice set of outboards.... (gets popcorn ready for the petrol vs diesel scrap) 🤣

Is Friday your lucky night then Andy?  Every friday? - WOW. Geoff. ☺️

Very sad,  but I am very pleased to hear that it worked out OK for you in the end, that's what really matters. Geoff.

It’s her birthday on weekend, (Turning 30) so she’s out with mates a few evenings this week... 
She’ll get a few reminders after weekend. No excuse then 🤣

855 Marlin Offshore twin 200hp Yamaha

Yes 👍 

This better than a bin bag

The guy who owned was on WSF, did a bring bass fishing, I don’t think he used it that much was parked up next to me for a few weeks when I was in Swansea last year 🙂 

When my engines are run it’s for long periods.... 2 hours each way. 
 
Usage drops in the winter but still get started up and run. This year is exceptional due to COVID but usually used at least twice per month, even if it’s a blast in sheltered water. 
 
Anodes are by inspection only. I’m getting them done in next service (gulp) for piece of mind. At 1000 hours I’m close-ish to mid life so it’s just good practice. Then I can know I can head offshore and get home safely 🙂 
Just need weather to improve over Xmas so I can get out and about!
 
 

Oil change every year....
impeller plugs and gear oil every 2 years or 200hours. 
 
Boat out in 2 weeks for full service so anodes, timing belts, oils, filters, fuel filters, plugs.
Thats on outboards that don’t use pushed hard...
Should be good for another 1000 hours... so about 10-15 years....

Well I need to get them drawn in illustrator and Emma been too busy in work to get on with it...
Ill give her a prod to remind her again 🤣

8 or 9 years 
I popped into the water in the summer to check for growth but had none.
Ill prob get it redone next year. It ain’t cheap to do but lasts a long time 

Yep

Yep same here..... 
According to an old commercial boat St Govans tide race used to hold monster females. Only problem is castlemsrtin firing range sat on top of there! They don’t fire at weekends. So first calm weekend. Midweek will be Celtic deeps northern section 

Tuna are so last year...... real men catch dogfish and whiting @Andy135 😉 

So how’s your Friday 13th going? 

Ive just had an offer accepted on a house so currently going quite well 🙂 
It even has a big garage that can be filled with freezers 🙂 so I may get to partake on the great offer that @British Big Game Fishinghas on bait at the moment (full details in the classifieds section) 
Weather is poo this weekend so no fishing sadly 😞

I did have to park a sail boat in Milford locks this summer....
They were taking so long to get alongside the lockmasfer asked me to raft up and move them in.... My mate Rob on his cat did another one at same time. Was quite entertaining to see these 2 posh types having a side along tow next to a shark boat🤣🤣🤣 
 

Welcome! 
 
If you can send some of that Plymouth sunshine to Wales we’d be most grateful 🙂
