Odyssey Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Just had 30 rolls of frozen blacks delivered. Squid I’ll order in 10kg boxes next week… more and more cod appearing up here so tempting g to bring boat east but a last crack at the bigger fish needed then maybe come back as struggling to get a lift out in Milford 😡😡😡😡 At this rate will be getting mechanic from Swansea to drive to Cardiff to sort out service….

You would need to make your timing perfect, against the tide and you might be going backwards, going with the tide at more than 6knts, then keeping steerage might be an issue. mike farrants 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
