something fishy going on

For those of you who know Andy, you'll realise what a momentous day yesterday was....he took the boat out!!! launching it at the local slip way

off out to sea

Rebe looking out for him on him on his way home. The white spray above her head is Andy coming in. We waved our rainbow play silk at him so he could see we were watching.

Here he comes.

To Rebe's utter delight he invited her aboard for a spin.

Oh don't know why that happened twice

Ahoy m'hearties

They went really fast she said and she was only a tiny bit scared! Andy said she was squealing with delight!

And he did catch something. He had dogfish and very small pollack too which he released again as we wouldn't eat that. He did bring home this little cod though. Rebe and I think it's just right for making fish fingers. Benny had a good poke at it, to test it.

Unfortunately, retrieving the boat from the water was less than straight forward (but at least I didn't have to go in swimming after it!), hopefully with a bit more practice or a change of tactics he'll get it sussed.

And just for a giggle...

I really can't see much when it's right under the bump!
