Yes! we made it to Scilly's

Not sure I would like to tow my Karnic all over Europe. You make it look so easy

just get yourself a good trailer with a proper car and off you go
after a while you will forget its behind you until you reach some roadworks in Germany, Austria , Slo etc where they tend to make the roads a lot smaller while working on it

and avoid the roundabouts in UK
on the motorway its so easy,
just do it.

I can launch and recover the boat all alone now if I need to
(did it twice)

The Dog Shark is known as a Dog Fish or Rock Salmon once it gets to the Fish & Chip shops or Huss if up North, the scallops look good sizes.

Sorry to be pedantic.......

The "Dog Shark" is indeed known here as a "Dogfish" (Lesser Spotted Dogfish, or LSD), also known as the "Small Spotted Cat Shark" (Scyliorhinus canicula).

The fish known in fish and chip shops as "Rock Salmon" or "Rock "Eel" is traditionally Spurdog (also known as Spiny Dogfish), but in recent years Huss (Bull Huss) has also been sold under the "Rock Salmon" banner.

Dogfish, Spurdog and Huss are three separate species of shark. LSD are not sold as "Rock Salmon", they'd be too small and the meat is entirely different.

We were on the pontoon a couple of boats up from you on a yacht called Little Bear

Hi Allan,

Browsing through the pics from my friends, from this trip,
I came across a photo from little Bear

I don't get on here as much as I used to....but glad I found this post.

Looked a great trip Bart, thanks for taking the time and effort.

If you ever get as far down as here, make sure you give me a shout.

Thanks for that it brings back good memories. That is me in the silly red and white shirt. The guy who was with me on that trip is laid up with a badly broken leg, caused by falling off a roof while putting up Christmas lights. As an ex-fireofficer he has suffered quite a bit of stick!
