Andy135 Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Very nice pic. Looks like a lovely place to fish. Where is it? Quote
OrkneyCorkney Posted March 10, 2021 Author Posted March 10, 2021 Loch Awe. The great thing about having a small boat is getting around the place to different waters. Had a trip to Falmouth last year. Great boat for a Billy no mates but would be well cramped with two anglers. thejollysinker 1 Quote

Also took a mate out on it once and there was just barely enough room for us to to fish. OrkneyCorkney 1 Quote

OrkneyCorkney Posted March 10, 2021 Author Posted March 10, 2021 The advantage is a boat that can live in garage. So when a storm is blowing I’m not twitching is the boat okay on mooring. Been there done that one. This is easy for me to solo launch and recover. The 15hp two smoke is economic, runs all day on a tank. Andy135 and Geoff 1 1 Quote

OrkneyCorkney Posted March 10, 2021 Author Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) When they discovered the boat was only 14 foot I was directed to where they moor the tenders. How undignified or what. Edited February 25, 2022 by OrkneyCorkney Andy135, Geoff, thejollysinker and 1 other 4 Quote

Geoff Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Nice pics, thanks for posting.Well done for getting about OC, that is one of the great things about about trailer sailors, but even I will agree that my boat has spent far too much time (it's whole life since leaving the moulds) on it's trailer. Geoff. Quote
OrkneyCorkney Posted March 11, 2021 Author Posted March 11, 2021 @Geoff Thank, lots of destinations planned in my head in readiness for restrictions being lifted. Falmouth is unfinished business, would love to go back the fishing was good, Quote
Geoff Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) I think that Falmouth (and Cornwall in general) is great. For our last holiday (2019) We took the camper to Carnon downs and visited Falmouth/St Mawes/Truro etc. nearly every day. This year we are intending to take our hopefully finished boat down to Polruan, after of course the July boat ☺️meet. Geoff. Edited March 11, 2021 by Geoff Quote
OrkneyCorkney Posted April 4, 2021 Author Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) I’ve been polishing recently, not bad for a boat built over 30 years ago. Edited February 25, 2022 by OrkneyCorkney Saintly Fish 1 Quote
Geoff Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 Wow - that looks brilliant - well done. How do you fancy a couple of days down in Lincolnshire to give you a bit more practice? Geoff.☺️ OrkneyCorkney 1 Quote

OrkneyCorkney Posted April 14, 2021 Author Posted April 14, 2021 Mr Mariner fired up and running sweet. Not been used in six months - always a relief that it’s not a carb strip down job 🤗 Andy135, Saintly Fish and Geoff 3 Quote
