Hi woot I fish down the Haven from a kayak and just took delivery of a Scupper Pro last week, haven't had chance to use it yet but when you have a chance pop along to one of the meets and have a look ATB Tom

Hi woot I keep my P13 outside covered with a tarpaulin sheet and haven't noticed any probs. As for chaining it to the house through one of the scupper holes can't see a problem there either, should be able to get quite a big chain/wire through them. Not sure of the depth of the Scupper but i'm sure someone will tell you soon enough HTH Tom

Hi Richard, Stu Looked like you had a fabulous day, shame i couldn't join you but still wasn't feeling 100% Did you try trolling down Beggars Reach on the field side of the river? Hope to be out next w/e. ATB Tom

Hi Rich Thanks for the offer mate but i'm still not fully recovered yet don't think i would be up to a paddle from H/west to P/dock and back If i do venture out to try the yak it will be just a little pootle about someplace for an hour or so. ATB Tom

Pleased to say my new Scupper Pro arrived today Need to fit the side carry handles and then hopefully have a little paddle in it at the w/e Just had a sit in it and it feels very comfy totally different feeling to my P13 Tom

Just been trying to open my "sent messages" page but can't open it Anyone else had this problem?? TIA Tom

Thanks Darnsarf and Simon for your help I'll try the new kayak (delivery tomorrow) with my current paddle and see how i get on, then if still not happy will have to think about either fitting a spigot and altering the feather and perhaps length or purchase another paddle Thanks again Tom

Just tried Yakdiver's rough calculation for paddle length and the tip of the paddle came halfway up my palm, so it was short of my finger tip by 6" which would mean that i would need a longer paddle, i'll have to wait a few days till i get the yak and try it out as at the moment i feel a shorter paddle may be required as i shall be seated lower and the kayak has a narrower beam to the P13. ATB Tom ps: in an earlier post i put % when infact i meant degrees but can't find a symbol for that

Spending money is the REMEDY to the illness Tom

Cheers for that Yakdiver, brilliant idea I'll pop in the shed now and try the old fingers over the paddle trick now Tom

Cheers Gareth, may take you up on the offer Yes due to be delivered Wednesday pm ATB Tom

Hi Gareth mate, i'd love to but can't find my little book at the moment Tom

Thanks for the link SpeciMan, having read it i'm even more confused Just popped into the shed and measured my paddle it's 222cm tip of blade to tip of blade but the feather if that is the angle of blades to one another is 90% which i think Simon said is not good, never having paddled before last year i just bought the one the guy in the shop recomended. I have noticed that i have a job paddling in a straight line, but after reading the debate realize that this may be because of the paddle, how do i get measured for a paddle? Is this something i could do myself, also i'm left handed so have a left handed paddle. Tom

I don't mess about with a 5 day virus, it's either 3 weeks or nothing for me Thanks for the offer but i'll give the massage a miss, there a woman in St Clears who does that for me Tom

Cool looking yak Phooey Hope you have some great times in her ATB Tom

Hi Stu No i'm not better yet, still feel as rough as a badgers ar$e tomorrow is the last day of antibiotics so may need another course to get rid of the bug Don't think i'll be well enough for fishing the w/e and now have a mountain of work to catch up on Tom

Congratulations on the forthcoming event Stu Hope you will be as happy in your marriage as i have been in all of mine ATB mate Tom

Great looking Kayak you have there Gareth Looking forward to seeing it in the next couple of weeks ATB Tom

Hi Gareth I've got it real bad mate, Mrs Tom is gonna have to take me to the quacks tomorrow as i feel to rough to drive Had the same this time last year and it took two courses of antibiotics to clear it up and off work for over 3 weeks Have had time to order a few bits n bobs though ATB Tom
