Maiden voyage to day, had to run the engine for an hour no more than 2000 rpm. Next time out I've got to get her on the plane, throttle back so its on the minimum revs but still planning for another hour. Then I can go for a blast.

Because it’s somebody else’s job too pick it up like everything today others are responsible??

What are we doing to the planet????? Who discards all this plastic rubbish. If a bit of plastic bait wrapper is blown off my boat I am disgusted with myself. When driving down the road I see youngsters tossing wrappers out of the window of the dads car, why do they think thats ok???

I'm using MGDuff and Tecnoseal Aluminium Anodes, boat goes back in the water on Monday 25th March. The expectation is they will last a lot longer, we shall see. Happily I can check 6 of the 8 anodes and if necessary change them without taking the boat out. There certainly is a lot of crap anodes out there, it's taking a risk using them, not something I'm prepared to do. One thing I always do is check the bonding of the anodes to the boat by using a resistance meter (should be near 0 ohm) , doesn't take long and at least you know they are properly attached. If they are electrically isolated they can't do their job. I buy the anodes from Anode Outlet, been doing that for a few years now, their website has got better and better.

The fine could have been a bit steeper, high value catch, scallops. Terry.

With the weather improving we can head out to see if there's any fish left in the bay 😉

Now on its way from the bay heading up north. Heading for shipping lane before turning.
