That wind got up fast… went to call everyone for coffee before hauling while is was 25kts to get the gear aboard before it hit. Got back with my coffee 3 minutes later and it was blowing 60kts hauled immediately 🙈🌪️🌊
New young lad aboard this week. 15 year old Keiran Milne is away for work experience during his school holidays. Net mending 101 in the wheelhouse this morning. 🪡 . Great to see an enthusiastic lad willing to learn.
Up the shiplift in Peterhead for the yearly paint. Quite a lot of growth on the bottom this time but the guys at PBP Services will soon have her looking good again.
Flying through the simmering pot that is the Pentland Firth this afternoon. Helluva tide boosting is to 17.8kts 🛥️💨💨
Unfortunately heading home for repairs to the port winch which has snapped a shaft inside the motor.
A visit from the Norwegian KV Sortland today after only 2 hauls in the zone. If only our own Marine Scotland FPV’s we’re so eager to board foreign boats.
Great pair of lads. On, checked and away in 2 hours 👌🏻
