Crystal Sea Trawling Blog

We managed to sail again in the early hours of Wednesday morning but had a poor punch out and another rough old day with a large swell running. The fishing has been good again though with Dorys, Haddock and a bit of Squid as well. We are due in to land this afternoon as there is a lot of work to do to get the boat ready for the long steam up to Macduff.

We have to get all our nets off loadedas welll as all the trawl gear, the doors, the clump etc so that the painters can get around the boat easily. We also have to give the decks and the superstructure a really good clean up so that it is all ready to be painted.

We are hoping to leave on Saturday morning which should get us up to Macduff by Wednesday morning - if all goes to plan, but as anyone whose been in fishing knows it doesn't always happen that way......
