Bigbury on sea

[Mickhitchuk]

Busy day yesterday, got my sib out
Got some snaps but I'm afraid I forgot my water proof camera so had to make do with an iPhone

I'll get some better photos in due course.
As I was advised by some ribneters I packed my motor up around 18mm and moved it out 2 notches on the transom angle adjustment and wow what a difference, transome splash virtually eliminated, it was a bit choppy at wot as the transom wheels kept getting unhooked and tipping over so I'll try some straps to keep them in place.
Hmmm I was wondering about a frib but now I have to say oh err should I look at an aerotec,
Would a 9.8 tohatsu be big enough to push one along?

Couple more snaps

Sky looks good but the bloody wind forecast over the next week is annoying.

I use a an 'R' clip to lock my wheels up or down 50p fix

Great pics... thanks for posting. Is that low tide image from the balcony your holiday place or the pub?

>>>Hmmm I was wondering about a frib but now I have to say oh err should I look at an aerotec, Would a 9.8 tohatsu be big enough to push one along?

In truth an Aerotec works far better with a 15hp+ but an Frib hull is so efficient I think something like a 330 version would go well with your Tohatsu.... far better than an Aerotec would anyway.

Main thing though is what aspect are you trying to improve over your current SIB?

[Mickhitchuk]

Photos are from my apartment 😊,it's right on the beach and a great place to watch the days go by, as for aerotec v frib, still deciding on that, will try and get a ride in both before deciding

Very nice outlook... it's the type of location/sea proximity we try and go for with our yearly stay in Scotland.

Re the SIB/Frib choices do you want something bigger... better ability in the waves or something else?

[Mickhitchuk]

I'm looking for something a little bigger with a bit better performance in the rough, happy in the main with my yam boat, but if it's a bit rough it crashes around,

.....It's a well trodden Track you're on...Best of luck with the Journey!
Still plenty of Fun to be had with a SIB along the way

I had a nice trip up to the Sloop yesterday evening at Bantham - what was that massive party on the beach at Bigbury - must be right below where you are staying?

[Mickhitchuk]

It was right where I was staying, looked a great bba as well.
Was that you in the brig with a yam 30?

[JA1000]

No that wasn't me but I did see them - 6m Rib yam 150hp

What's the sea like today ? I was out in the hard boat from salcombe on Tuesday and went to lannacombe , I was thinking of taking the rib out of hope cove fishing with the kids today ..weather didn't look great at 6 am this morning

Love to see some GoPro video of that whizzing along,

[Mickhitchuk]

Sea does not look the best today, bit rough with wind

[JA1000]

Very windy today and big tide not helping so haven't made it out of the estuary. Turned out sunny though

[jeffstevens763@g]

If it's a calm day ramallies cove is very nice not very wide going in but widens into a little pool in that pool you use to be able to see the guns from the ramallies sunk in a gale in the 1700s with all hands it's 2-3 mile east of hope cove take a picnic if it's nice.

Cheers

Very rough off the bar today so didn't make it , took the 23 ft wellcraft sport fisher out and even that was touch and go , so turned round and caught some bass in the estuary, the zodiac cadet 2.5 was fun getting to the mooring ..soaked ! , will try with the 450 brig as shallow draft , thanks again for heads up
