Andy135 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Yeah, fair play Jon. You done good 👍. Nice dogfish. Shame about all that bycatch though. Malc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon rolls obviously, no pot noodles today though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 I also managed to cut myself in a new way, rummaging around through the fish in the bait tank I managed to cut myself under my finger nail with a filleting knife. It blew for about a hour. Luckily it was too cold to hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 And when I wax back in the marina I had a phone call from the mrs telling me we had a flood in the downstairs bathroom. A flexi pipe decided to split after 10 years for the hell of it. Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Great day out for you Jon - well done. I do feel sorry for you about your plumbing leek. In September we had exactly the same thing happen in our small upstairs bathroom. The hot tap flexi pipe looked exactly the same as your picture. As ours was upstairs the water (it was coming out at full mains pressure and filled the ceiling void before it was discovered. Result was downstairs ceiling in the room below had to be removed and the laminate flooring to the upstairs landing and a bedroom had to be replaced, and downstairs walls and ceilings redecorated in the affected areas resulting in total repair costs of nearly £6000. Our insurance company (NFU) were brilliant. Their advert claim "we never make a drama etc" is spot on - they were brilliant in the way the claim was handled. I was amazed to see that flexipipe failure and discussed it with Neil who told me that he has known of the problem with those pipes sometimes failing. His opinion s that the flexi may have been overbent on installation. Good luck with your repairs, being downstairs perhaps your damage may be less than ours. Geoff.

Fortunately it was in a wet room so it mostly drained away, but full main’s pressure through that split made a good jet. Geoff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyPowers Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I literally caught 90% of the fish, I lost a whopper as well because Jon hasn’t learnt to tie knots properly, apart from that his skippering was pretty good, I also taught him about the importance of a good ground on the boat engine/battery as well🤣🤣 and I gave him all the parts and knowledge to fix his toilet.

You did 90% of the fishing, I spent most of my day untangling your reels, unhooking fish, tying hooks on and cooking you food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyPowers Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 You spent most of your day harming yourself with sharp instruments, untangling your own reels, re-rigging your own rods and cooking me food🤣🤣🤣 GPSguru, Andy135 and suzook12 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
