peter, wish you could have been there!!!!!!!!!!

Nice day out Alan & some prime Tuna fillets! Is that a FLIR camera I see on the H/top and the monitor portside inside the H/top? Obviously you do a bit of night navigation, how do you find it (the FLIR)? They are coming down in price over here so I expect we will see more of them on smaller trailer boats in time.
Cheers

PS.Nice GW.

good eye! yes, that is correct. most guys are running 10 knots. i'm doing 20 knots because i can see!

Some nice fish caught there. Well done mate.

Some nice tuna there. You have a beautifully set up boat and got the system down pat too with all the fish filleted and on ice by the run home. Do you freeze some, or is it all eaten fresh?
