There's only so far you can ask a 6.5m open boat to take you alone

Well I'll swap you mine if you're just bored of the big dull boat and want something that will compete with donegal dan for fun per £ of fuel... 
Will it have a "lid" on this one? That would limit your choices somewhat, unless Bigmuz has any spare tractor cabs you can do a JW with...

I thought that was the signal for "Going down"?
I've seen other pics of her. Nice rig (for a Humber).

Jeeze Polwart....
I've been trying to convince him to hold on to her........ no joy.
I don't have enough in the piggybank and don't think he will take my SR4 + Cash :-)
What can I do....
