Hemmekk tal biza Joe meta tamel xi wahda maltemp tajba !!!

Jien al grazzja t alla qatt ma kont fiha dik is sitwazzjoni pero gili kont fuq l art u rajt is sahha tal kurrent li tigi hemmek.

l ahjar haga li tamel ek darbohra terga tinqabad fdik is sitwazjoni mur fej l islipp u tih cans joqod naqa l kurrent

Vera, sewwa qed tghid. Qatt fit-8 snin li ili norbot hemm ma dhalt f-duluvju ta xita. Allura ma kellix esperjenza x'jigri f-sitwazzjoni bhal tal-bierah. Ghall darb' ohra. Sewwa qed tghid, l-ahjar post hu fejn is-slip, norbot naqa hemm temporarju, u nigi hdejn il-pontoon. Kif narah ikkalma l-kurrent, nigi norbot. Thanks Kane.

Well, if the wind forecast is anything to go by, I'll be trolling for lampuki on Saturday. Guess they should be decently sized now, between 2 and 3 kilos at least, if there are any around that is!

where will you be trolling ? i might give it a go too.

The_Gaffer · November 23, 2011, 14:11:58 CET

Considering the wind forecast, it will be in the area of Hurd's bank

Yeah bearings would be awesome!

i have a raymarine onboard so that should be the easiest ... thanks again!

edit: by bearings i guessed you meant the gps coordinates but after that i realized you might just mean the direction.. sure that would also help though!

On your raymarine you should find hurdsbank marked.

It is an anchorage are located 12Nm east Southeast from the grandharbour

benri · November 23, 2011, 22:07:01 CET

geekorgy, if your boat is an S registration don't risk it! Last month I got booked on 2 occasions in that area for going beyond the 12nm! Patrol boats (especially the P22) seem to patrol that area daily.

shanook · November 24, 2011, 10:00:47 CET

@bigboy are u sure its east southeast rather to east northeast

bigboy · November 24, 2011, 11:05:44 CET

To be exact, 92deg from grand harbour brakewater with a distance of +/- 12NM

110deg from Comino with a distance of 21NM
