Today there were more boats leaving the water than on it. As Summer draws to a close the little day boats on the moorings are slowly being taken to the Village Lane slip where they are taken up to the Promenade for their Winter hibernation.
It was extremely quiet in the Bay. The Mumbles Lifeboat briefly disturbed the peice for a few moments during a launch and subsequent recovery but even this was a corporate event and not a mercy mission. The Bay itself was as flat as a mill pond and with only 1-2mph of wind and sunny intervals it was an extremely pleasant 3hrs pottering around under motor. Both Harry and Elliot helmed and although Elliot hasn't quite got the knack of keeping us going in a straight line it was very amusing watching him try!
Unfortunately, the camera was left at home but the fishing rods were kept pretty busy, in total we caught six fish, 3 Pollock and 3 Red Gurnard. Although, 1 of the Pollock was pretty small so was put back for another day. On the way home we stopped for some charcoal and you can guess the rest.
