After steaming almost 100 miles north west of Land's End and having shot her gear last night, the netter Ajax reports that she is now dodging (keeping the boat head-to-wind in order to reduce the effect of the bad weather) alongside the Padstow netter, Sparkling Line. The boats are not too far from the Kinsale Gas Field and the site of the wreck, Luistania, which is about 12 miles off Kinsale Head..
It's not nice out there! ......... the Crystal Sea III is towing into and then with the weather in order keep as comfortable as possible - many of the Breton boats don't do this because the say the stop-start effect it has on the boat loses the fish being herded in front of the trawl!
