Perhaps storm 10 later

Here's the latest blog post from skipper Alan aboard the Ajax - sounds like they will be glad to get their feet ashore tonight after a tough few days of poor weather. Though doubtless the boys aboard the Govenek of Ladram and the Sparkling Line who are fishing alongside over 100 miles west of Land's End will wish they could swap places!
