Waterford is a wonderful place, and it's a fair stretch from Wales. Got any piccies of the trawling incident?

We've been on holiday so I've only just managed to catch up with the blog. It makes great reading and it sounds as Fairwinds and crew have had a great adventure. There must be a business opportunity to sell Nick some vented loops - or a bilge level alarm!!  Looking forward to the next instalment. Ash
