The Big Lift
With Serenity III back in the water and already working it was not long until the rest of the boats were back in the water too. On Monday 3rd April we had the crane booked to come and lift our other boats back into the water but before that we had the final touches to do before they were ready [...]
Mother’s Day Weekend
I think the weather this weekend was fitting to all those mothers out there. It was beautiful and calm. Both days were outstanding but both different in what we saw. Thousands of Guillemots have arrived and look very settled too. The nations favorite, the Puffin has returned and looks as beautiful as ever. The Shags look stunning and we even [...]
Serenity III and the MCA
Serenity III has been down at Amble boat yard for a little while but now she is back in Seahouses and raring to go for the season. While she was at Amble the MCA did her out of water inspection. This is when the MCA come to the boat and inspect the hull for any damages, check the sea cocks, [...]
Iceland 2017
I went to Iceland last year and the weather was so dreadful I hardly took a picture but this did not put me off as I could see what it had to offer and I was determined to go back. Fast forward to this year and what a difference. I went with a friend who really likes his photography too [...]
Some TLC for Serenity II
Serenity II is having a long overdue upgrade. She has worked really hard for us and we can't complain about her one little bit, so its time she got a well deserved rest and some major tlc. I should have blogged about this a while ago but we worked hard on her and then people have been grabbing holiday's in [...]
A bit of shine
Yes it's a bit of a plug but I would never do this unless I thought it deserved it. It's usually a really hard job cleaning the hull of Serenity II but what makes it worse is that she's white and you can see every single mark but after a bit of research on the net I can across Chine [...]
The Sand Dunes
Someone asked me on Facebook the other day about the sand dunes on the north beach so I thought I would do a quick post and show you all the damage from the tidal surge. The dunes have been mostly affected by the seas and they will recover eventually even though it's not nice to see at the moment. At [...]
Seahouses Tidal Surge
Yep you guessed it, the tidal surge happened on Friday 13th and you wonder why boating people are very superstitious. My dad was really bad, but once you start talking to other fisherman you realise he was not a bad as I first thought. When he was a fisherman you were not allowed to lots of things. For example you [...]
Out with the old and in with the new
As you may remember in a previous post I told you about Serenity being sold to the south coast, well we have decided to sell Sovereign II aswell. She was our late fathers boat and we did not want to sell her due to sentimental reasons but that really did not make sense so we have decided to let her [...]
Dirty Jobs
During the off season we need to do a lot of work on the boats but this year it is a little bit different to other years, as we have two new engines to go into Serenity II. Yes it's a bit of a ouch moment as they cost a few bob but she really needs it. If it was [...]
