11. Orkney Strikeliner 16+ A glorious day. Cruising along the River Frome and the Wareham Channel.

We took a family trip up the River Frome and along the Wareham Channel towards Poole Harbour. It was a glorious summer day in the middle of August 2022.
Come along for the ride!

A fun way to spend the day with your family😁

If I'd known you were in Poole i would have given you a shout. I have just come back from an unsuccessful 3 day trip with my Orkney 440. I recently bought it & it requires work! Your advice would have been great. 😀.

What model of trailer are you using? Is it a Hallmark Rollercoaster 1?

[@mattryland949]

The trailer is made by Indespension Not sure the exact model, but it’s a break back roller version. And approx 16ft.

Do you have to wait for high water to launch on the river grime?

[@russellhallam8054]

What marina is that ? ..I trailer my boat about also and am always looking for a new adventure and river to explore 👍👍🤙 great little film also 👍👍

[@mattryland949]

It’s the River Frome so Ridge Wharf and Redclyffe are the places to launch from. Baiter Park is a good cheaper place to launch in Poole Harbour though.

Lovely calm run ......
how do you find that simrad unit ? easy to use ?

[@mattryland949]

I bought it mainly because I wanted a depth gauge and to know my speed over ground and it’s good for those things. I bought the detailed maps as an extra so is a good navigation aid too. Haven’t used the fishfinder yet though. Fishing will be on the cards next year.
I find it nice and simple to use even though it’s not touchscreen. And I found the 7 is the perfect size for my dashboard and plenty big enough to see the detail and use easily.
