well finally got the boat out this morning, all intentions of giving it a run and getting the hang of things. headed out into lovely flat sea with the sun shining, bit nippy but what a nice day to be at sea. reminds me why I love getting out there and just chilling. Pretty impressed with the boat, very stable, good deck area and with conditions today was able to open it up a bit, once up on the plane it just slices through the water and with the 80 Suzuki on it fly's. Not that ill be flying about in it with the way our sea conditions are at times. a nice steady speed to the fishing ground does me. Anyway while we were out thought we would anchor up just off whitley for an hour to see if there was owt going. loads of little knocks on the rod but sadly picked nothing up. Was just nice to be out and there is always next time.

It looks a big rig to get round the dog-leg at the bottom of the Cullercoats ramp; how did the launch and recovery go?
