Since getting back from our refit up at Tom's, we have put a few trips together now, the weather hasn't been to good at times but we have managed to push through.

The fishing has been good and we have been out to the western grounds opening up new areas to work. This can come at a cost at time's, we had to put a net ashore the trip before last to fix up, and this last trip we parted the footrope and the fishing line on another net, so we have had to leave that net ashore this time whilst the boat was at sea.

I have been in this week so Dad and I  have been busy striping the old footrope and fishing line and fitting a new one. It's nearly done now we only have to sitting the net to the footrope tomorrow on the quay. Just as well as Alec is due back in tomorrow with another trip. 


We have been working alongside Peter and Brian on the Tranquility as usual, I got a shot of her passing us whilst towing on a fine day recently.







Alec will be due in tomorrow, they have another good trip aboard, they saw a bit of rough weather again earlier in the trip so were hoping the prices will edge up, as not many boats were away earlier in the week.

We have a few jobs to do when he gets in and were hoping to put the net back aboard, we also put new rope sweeps aboard last trip so they need measureing as they wil have stretched and may be out of line. so lets hope the end of the quay is clear.
