Hello Everyone,
I met up with Svendsen in Tarbet for some spear gun action.
4 hours drive, not including the slight delay due to a section of wind turbine blocking the main route in to Tarbet; though luck would have it that a single track road saved the day, and the local police were in full swing looking after the traffic, and also answering questions from confused visitors to the area
The day was fantastic, though the first five minutes reminded me that I had left my weights in the car :waterwork. Svendsen was very understanding and made light of the mistake whilst turning the van around (and back through the policed traffic area), a real gentleman.
Big chop on the waves meant a search was on until we discovered (I had no part in the discovery but will allow some credit as memory serves me I did agree it looked like a good road) a place called Southend on the western side of Kintyre but very much to the southern end.
Visibility was fantastic and two huge fish were caught thanks to my getting out of the way :naughty
or maybe my scaring them towards Svendsen :naughty
it must have been my ability to talk to the fish :naughty
Oh, ok it had nothing to do with any of my ability :waterwork
It was the fantastic work of Svendsen and his skillful ability to do what he did
I had a big gap and chips the next day for dinner. It was fantastic to get out and get wet, even better for me to have learned so much from an experienced spear fisher.
Now it's time to get some kit that is more/suitable for the hobby.
A picture should be coming off my camera soon, and I'll post it up for all to see.
