Let's play good news, bad news.
The good news is that there's fish on the banks.
The bad news is that Fortius took a hit on the mooring. The mother ship had its starboard side wheel house window taken out by another boat while on its mooring.
The concern when mooring out in the pool among buoys is that either your boat will swing and hit one or, more menacingly, you will collide with a boat that is on a buoy which has a different swing radius and with variable winds other boats actually swing in opposite directions, causing stern collisions. Unfortunately the boat concerned had a nasty set of davits sticking out its rear end.

Back to the good news.
I went out Sunday afternoon for another nice day of fishing with my buddy Stu.
We warmed up the engine for 10 minutes, then I went forward to cast us off the mooring and we headed towards Sark in search of some fish. Calm wind and flat seas greeted us, so we settled in for a relaxing 40 minute trip. We headed up to the first drop in just south of Sark and drifted back and forth all afternoon and got nothing. Make a long story short, the last drift of the day and down to our last strip of long nose for bait out came this nice
little pup caught bouncing a flattie rig off a sandy bottom, 40 metres of water, with a very clean long nose strip about 1" wide x 4'
long. This little one lived to fight another day
