    Report on-board Vanishing Point-2

    Well what a lovely weekend...!! flat calm water, not a wind turbine turning, Sun shinning, and fish biting ..! utopia ..!!!!!!

    We had some good sport with Thornback Rays, dogs, plenty of Whiting, and odds n sods.

    The Codling are just starting to show off of the Essex coast with a few having been caught locally.

    I would think looking at the weather for this coming week, the unusually high temperatures we have been experiencing lately looks like to be coming to an end, which should allow the water temperature to fall below 12 degrees, and coupled with the spring tides will hope fully flush in the long awaited Cod run.

    There is still some good Bass fishing to be had off-shore if you have the right tide and conditions.

    Last week, just when you thought we couldn't make our $1 million vessel Vanishing Point-2 any better, we decided to have a hot air hand drying machine installed in the toilet (Heads) as we have not liked for a while hand towels for drying ones hands, and it was you ladies that brought this to our attention, that you were not keen using cotton hand towels, and people (mostly guys) have been handling bait and stuff and some actually used to wipe their hands on the towel before going to the toilet, so we agreed we had to address this problem, so as I say the new hand drying machine is now fully installed and working... and going down a treat with all our customers... especially the ladies.....

    But.... now we have used this for a week, I said to Nicola my wife and second in command on VP-2, I think this will prove so popular in the colder months of winter, that anglers will be disappearing to the toilet just to warm their cold hands...!!!! so we are looking at putting a second hand drying machine just inside the wheel-house so you can dry and warm up cold wet hands after baiting up....... I know we are just too kind to you anglers, but with a vessel of this quality and vast expense, we think you deserve to get what your paying for.... Tight lines.
