    Report on-board Vanishing Point-2

    Sorry I have not been on here to do reports... but with the current weather patterns, this has played havoc with our fishing trips.
    Many of our anglers have made the comment, "I thought your boat can go out in adverse conditions?? well the answer is it can..!! but the reason we don't go is, basically you wouldn't enjoy it... well one or two of you would, but most would not.
    Vanishing Point-2 was built to withstand harsh weather conditions and has more than proven herself in the hostile waters of the Irish sea for 3 years, and worked in seas of up to 3 meters high, so there is no question about the vessel, or our ability to operate in these type of conditions, but it's one thing working in those conditions, and trying to fish at anchor in those conditions..!
    But as always point out to my guys.... I have given you the best advice I can, but if after all that you still want to go, and I consider it is safe, then we will take you, then there is no room to say ...."this is crap" yep, and we told you it would be..! but I must say rarely has this happens...
    OK guys, as of today, the clay shooting on Vanishing Point-2 will be officially ready to go, with all the relevant safety equipment in place, so one choice you do have if the fishing is not,, for what ever reason going to happen, and you guys want to do shooting then you have the option.
    We are going to run days where you can just book and pay for half a days charter, say from 0900 to 1300 (4 hours) and just do clay shooting, at anchor, or steaming into the wind, which has a massive affect on the flight of the clays, or steaming down wind, again has a dramatic affect on the flight of the clays so defiantly not easy, but all are subject to sea conditions.
    We have now picked up the awards to be given out at the end of the shooting session we have......The prized, fully engraved..
    "Vanishing Point-2 Top Gun " rosewood shield for 1st Place.
    Silver colour medal on a ribbon for 2nd place
    Bronze colour medal on a ribbon for 3rd place
    So prizes well worth competing for (pleas see photo below), great for company team building events, or just a great day with good friends.
    OK guys, lets hope this weather soon calms down and the fish go on the feed again..!!! so until then... Tight Lines, & Hot Gun's.
