All at sea

So Wednesday was a football free day and to while away the hours we went for a three hour tour on the SS Minnow. Was it only me that was a little concerned by this coincidence?

Anyone who knows me knows that I hate boats but felt fairly secure that a trip around Newquay Bay would be OK; how wrong can you be. Turns out Newquay Bay is about 30 miles long and stretches out for two miles; it also turns out that Gloom and Gloomette are not the greatest sailors either. Of course Doomette and Miss Wigan were loving it; the rougher it got the more they loved it.

Here we can see Miss Wigan taking particular delight in watching yours truly trying to stay upright while taking a photo.

We fished for mackerel on the first part of the trip, Gloom looking particularly nonchalant while using a hand line.

We stopped over a reef and fished with rods for a while and this is when the swell got to us.

I won't go into any graphic detail but we were happy when it was time to head back to harbour

We only caught two mackerel which we decided weren't enough for supper so we fed them to a particularly fat and happy seal

When we hit dry land all I wanted was a beer to reduce the queaziness but Miss Wigan tucked into a pitcher of Sangria.

When we got back to the house we decided to continue fishing and maybe have a fish supper; but we caught nothing, again. Luckily the Indian Take-Away was still open and we didn't go hungry

Today is also a football free day and we are off to Watergate Bay to Jamie Oliver's restaurant 'Fifteen'. Miss Wigan is hoping Mr Oliver will be there so she can have a perve.
