Unfortunately, shortly after I had anchored in the Albatross Channel my fishing rod and fishing gear were stolen from the back deck.  I always remove any tempting items from the cockpit when at anchor.  I had already removed the binoculars, navigation tablet and other bits and bobs safely below.  I then put the kettle on for a cuppa and was filling in the logbook when I heard sounds outside.  I jumped up into the cockpit and saw a canoe with two guys in it paddling away downstream, then I noticed my fishing rod was missing.  I shouted after the guys but they had suddenly developed selective hearing, their paddling picked up a pace.  My fault entirely, they probably only came along to say hello (as everyone does here) but the sight of a fishing rod unattended was just too much temptation.  Oh well, one less thing to worry about and fishing with a rod from Truce has always been a dangerous game, I hope they have better luck with it than I had.
