    Report on-board Just Mary

    Hi Everyone ! Apologies for a lack of blog stuff lately but lots of trips plus a new project that should keep me busy this Winter has kept me away from CBUK reports.....so if you've been waiting for your photos to appear then they will be on here soon ! Busy months for me this June, July and August plus some trips for the hut on the Quay (SFP) now run by my mate Stevie P, Jill, Rik and Sheila....we even managed to get on the telly when they were filming a News bit about the new Wind Farm Project in our Bay. Bloke was talking just as 'Just Mary' cruised past in the background at Sandbanks.....all the passengers waving at the cameraman.....someone must love me somewhere ! We've been doing some really mixed trips lately, not only the usual Hire rod or Stag Party Summer work plus my Loyal Regular Anglers but Social Services work for the Elderly, Dementia Sufferers, Mentally and Physically Handicapped and other 'Service Users'. We had one lad out as part of a group who had Downes Syndrome, never been on a boat, never been fishing.....you get the picture.....anyway we showed him how to use a rod and reel and he landed Mackerel on feathers.....lots of them.....the look of achievement on his face just puts all the stuff we do into another dimension.....some photos will follow soon ! I know that to some Skippers this type of work isn't what they're into but I'll tell you this, if you're not affected by the joy that you can easily bring to less disadvantaged people then you're missing out a big part of what being a human being on this planet is all about. All the best, Malc.....
