I do not know about Milford but we used to charter a fishing boat out of Swansea . I will try to find out who still does Charter . My mast has to go up and it is probably too small for your purpose anyway .

Nice to hear your back on the water hopefully in something a bit higher powered than your electric fishing motor, take it you sold Drumbeat then? if not im sure she would have done nicely for now.

Swansea which I know well is too far away for a day charter - pity because I could arrange it from there in no time.

I have not sold Drumbeat as yet although there are few interested parties and another saga is beginning to develop, no guess with who ............maybe more of that later if it becomes a crisis /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I am leaving her on the South Coast so she can be sold and then I move onto bigger fish as it were.

So in the meantime I am touring different parts of the coast making videos and a pile of stills of each location. This weekend its Skomer.

I was at Worms head and Nash point in the last two weeks - places I have passed lots lof times at sea but found that seeing them from the land lubber's point of view just adds to my amazement about our coast line.

It keeps me near the sea and is good fun.

There is a boat mainly chartred by divers in Neyland Marina, not sure the name of the company. Also Dale Sailing run a RIB out to the islands, possibly another company does too. A call to the marina office will probably give you a few options.

Congratulations on being boatless!!

Its a strange feeling watching boats coming into moorings at Skoma whilst you stand boatless in a hot sweltering line of people crowding onto a tint boat with 502 people on board........

You will know what I mean soon /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
