All in a day's work - when pair trawling the boats have to pass a line between them before they can tow the net - in poor weather this requires considerable skill - the Lapwing has to approach the Budding Rose at high speed because the wind would keep her off course - a tense moment every time the boats do so - which is probably around five times a day - and even more hair-raising at night!
