    The boat is called blaidd,M5.Built in Milford haven in the late 70's early 80's.It was the first boat i went to sea on in the early nineties,it was owned back then by Mr Willy Thomas.Currently fishing out of neyland for shellfish,whelks i think.by the way blaidd is welsh for wolf,pronounced blyth.

    A few years since I saw that one in Oban.Willy had another boat up here at the same time,the Dwrgi (pron. dorgie,was it Welsh for otter?),she was bigger,50 odd feet.Nice lad Willy,I think he was a marine engineer to trade was he no?
    must be  early1986, they are doing the david bellamy fish things on the bank.
    looks like the briar inside of her, the red boat was called the annie i think, and alongside i think it is the stern of the skua.

    i thought that it was the janoras at first, but it isnt
    your right there young ronnie lad,the dwrgi was built by willy aswell as the blaidd and right again about dwrgi being welsh for sea otter.last i knew,dwrgi was sold and went to brixham and renamed sea otter.can you remember the name of the skipper when she was up your way?
    sn21 its not the briar inside m8 its the dorothy d my friend  and also ahead of it dont think its the skua too high of a stern my good friend O0
