[Erniesib]

Hi all, new to forum from Bridport. Got Honwave T32 and 15hp Tohatsu. Putting boat on pontoon for weekend at West Bay as have season ticket holder and then only a tenner a night (go for easy option these day!). Any members out there in area want to meet up for trip out fishing be happy to buddy up. New to area here so be glad of company in new SIB.

I will be in west bay on Sat ! Alas... not with my own boat.. but fiddling about with a very big very black 600hp RIB ! (A struggle but someone has to try it out .. not mine but I'm just helping out )

Hopefully just a few minor tweaks before running fully next week... coding inspection done today

Ernie .. I'm sure I saw the boat... but didn't get round to saying hi...i think it may have been a bit bumpy out there for a sib... ?

I had my head inside the console fitting wires and stuff.. but did get out for a little test run on the new charter boat there.... just enough HH to get it going.. it amazes to think these 2 are the same as 100 x of the 6hp.... both 6hp and 600 are fun.. but per pound id take the 6hp tbh.

Hi, sorry late getting back. Yeah stuck my head out too but decided too lumpy for me on the day. I that a bit of a problem for a small boat at West Bay as exposed to south/south westlies Did most of my boating on South coast of Wales and usually able to find shelter behind the headlands at Penarth, Porthcawl, Swansea Bay, Oxwich and Saunderfoot.

Yep - I know how you feel in the rough - if its practical I often drive to Teignmouth as you get a lot of nice flat sheltered water down & up the coast even in a strong SW

Hi Ernie, Portland/ Weymouth is pretty sheltered most of the time.
