Have you become a kept man at last Tony? It's an honourable state.
I may be out on Monday seeing how far I can get without the engine cutting out. Yellow penguin have done their stuff so now I just need a sea trial. If you see me with my thumb out, give us a tow!

When the fair weather came Jamie was still having fuel line problems which proved to be caused by very similar but incompatible fuel line plugs. I’ve encountered that on E3. While Sam helped him pin down and resolve that I was to go out north of Bressay with Callum to lift a pair of pots and try for some Herring.
As we backed away from the mooring lines the Jonah effect kicked in.
We hit bottom at 10.45 am

We had no spare. So off it came and back to base

The catch report. Jamie’s boat zoomed off to the southern point on Bressay and quickly came back with a cod and a mackerel.
on Callum’s boat we drifted a flat sandy patch in the bay and got well into Haddock and mackerel. Cod came up too but were returned as haddock is much favoured there.
At he close of play I brought up a foul hooked plaice for good measure.
Better include a shot of our hosts
The next time we saw flat water we were on our way home
