Yesterday was spent putting new anodes on the outer hull of the boat. An anode is a sacrificial piece of metal,usually zinc, that is placed near the boat's propeller and will gradually get worn or eaten away by the actions of electrolysis. This prevents other metal being corroded away for example, the iron or steel in a ship's hull. It all meant that we had to put the boat in an area of Newlyn harbour where she would dry out at low water so we could gain access to the underneath and outside of the boat. We started this process at 8am and were back on our moorings at 5pm with the new anodes all fitted.
Saturday Feb 2nd - The nets are back in the water tonight after we managed to sneak out of the harbour despite the winds gusting from the N at 45 m.p.h. These are the larger meshed nets aimed at Ray, Sole, Monkfish, Brill and Turbot along with Brown and Spider crab. We shall be hauling them first thing tomorrow morning and will of course be texting our customers immediately to let them know what fish are available to them.
If you would like to go on our customer list then all you need to do is to send us a text on
07977 689 689 and we will text you each day that we are at sea to inform you of our catch that day.
If you would then like any of our catch then just text or ring us back to arrange collection or we can deliver. If you do not want anything that day then you simply delete the text.
