You mean Aberporth, I wish I did live there, I live close to Cardiff where I work but I live in Aberporth most weekends, we have a Caravan there. I just wish the weather was better at the moment.

The MOD are adopting a policy of INTEROPERABILITY which means everything should run on the same fuel as a result there will be more diesel outboards being built for the Navy.

Excellent motor mount with the Minn Kota and looks fantastic to use with the controls in the cockpit. Puts my yamaha mount to shame.

Wont the seals that survived the last outbreak be more resistant to the virus this time around?

Used a seagul and found it fiddly and troublesome (it was 40 yars old) just picked up a yamaha 2.5 HP motor and its a totally different beast, quieter, more fuel efficient, easier to start, no two stroke mixing required, but it is heavier. From a theoretical point of view the two stokes will develop more power per CC than a four stoke as they have a compresion stoke each revolution where as a fourstorke only has a compresion stroke every two cycles. Therefore to equal the horse power you need a larger CC in a four stroke.

The right way up outside in the rain on its trolley. BIG MOTOR BIKE CHAIN THROUGH SCUPPER HOLE AND LARGE UNMOVABLE OBJECT! It gets water inside it after a while caused by expansion and contraction of the air inside sucing water in throught the Gaspatchi Hatches!!

How many of you out there use a trolling motor? How many of you have bought one and never use it after first few tries?

I use the following lifting device together with a thule hydro glide small boat carrier, it makes loading a Malibu II XL onto my roof a one man job with ease. http://www.aberporthholidays.co.uk/roofrunner.htm towbar lifter

Torgeedo Whilst reading Practical Boat Owner April addition I spotted an advert for a new electric out board. The specks are very very impressive any one tried one yet? Also Hello, not been on here for months but the fair weather is approaching and I want to go Yakking soon.

Mike last time me and Cath went out a Dolphin nearly jumped over our bows, you should have seen the misses Jump!

I noticed on the weekend that the HellyHansen shop in the Mcarthur glen shopping mal has dry suits reduced to £199.00 in a few sizes HH not bAD!

Does any one have any experience fishing here is it worth a go?

Having lifted shifted dropped and sworn at my Malibu II XL over the last two years and always always having to run after the misses to ask for help when its windy or wet I made something to help. I have an estate car (will only work well on estates) and already have a Max Rack Bike rack which bolts to the tow bar of the car. So some squaresection bar and one weld later I have a "Roof Runner" its difficult to explain in words so I took some pics. The rolloers are waste pipe covered in foam and taped on. See HERE. Roofrunner

You would not think about killing this little fella would you?

C-Tug is great but do not be tempted to tow the Kayak behind the car. I have foolishly done this on the dust track back up to my camp site about a mile at about 20 miles an hour. The wheel bearings will melt!!! Looking for C-Tug Spares now!
