Andy135 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I had a free afternoon today as our Poole charter was postponed, so after a quick check of weather and tides I headed south to soak some squid for a few hours. First drop produced a very positive bite whilst I was baiting up the second rod. Winding down into it, the fish felt busy but not at all cod-like. And it wasn't. Finished baiting up all the rods and so the waiting began... And I was still waiting a couple of hours later. Nothing else turned up, and my time was running out. Headed back and stopped at the fuel jetty on the way in as my forward tank was showing as 3/4 empty. My wallet is now equally empty... Still, always good to be on the water, whatever the cost.

Saintly Fish Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Did you take the photo of the bass on macro? Oh, well done for emptying your Wallet again! 👍🏻 Looked nice out there though. captin slows old outlaw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a bit rock & roll to begin with but seemed to flatten off by 3.30-ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Ouch… I paid £1.36/l on Friday for fuel in the marina. Can you not take cans to your boat? It’s a lot cheaper than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My filler caps are on the port gunnel by the wheelhouse window. To reach them from the cockpit I have to lean out and round the wheelhouse with one arm outstretched. I'd have to balance the cans on the gunnel whilst pouring the fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long would it take to jiggle 100+ litres?? Think I'd rather pay the extra and save the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If close a small 12volt pump would take a few minutes, probably quicker than going to the fuel pontoon and waiting for Graham to come out of the office to man the pumps. Just check the pump is intrinsically safe. I already investigated this option but there don't seem to be any petrol-safe 12v pumps. Diesel, yes. But not petrol, unless you go professional and spend a few hundred. Even the cordless drill powered fluid pumps aren't safe for petrol.
