    Report on-board Galloper

    Thank you Falmouth, it's been a blast! Sorry for the radio silence but the last few weeks have been very full on. Falmouth was everything I hoped it would be. The weather was up and down as was the fishing but working from Falmouth we were well placed to make the best of what came our way.
    Aside from the tuna we've been treated to countless common dolphins, risso dolphins, minke whales and a surprising number of fin whales which led to some incredibly memorable experiences. There were lots of other fish species which I will include in future reports. I've been joined by lots of lovely people. Many old faces and some new. The other skippers and locals were very friendly and welcoming. It was really nice to be greeted by some friendly faces in the marina ect day.
    There was great food, laughs and dubious stickers appearing. Galloper has been fantastic, I ask a lot of my beaten up old blyth and she doesn't let me down. Even down to the ride home when were being chased down the channel by the storm. Those big doosans have more than earned another service after the hours they have pushed me along over the last few weeks.
    We've been back in Essex and slaying the whiting and dogfish over the weekend. Thankfully we did find some shelter and some other bits and bobs to put smiles on faces.
    I'll put some more Falmouth reports in soon in between the Essex ones.
