Flattery will get you everywhere.
Been a long night, made worse by reporter ringing up at 0500 when you have just nodded off then rings back 10 minutes later to ask more questions.
All good as far as the crew goes, they are back safe and not so sound, pretty shaken up after a very long night for them. The boat will be inspected later today to see if it can be salvaged or to collect what they can off it.
It is high and dry and being pushed further up by the swell as the tide comes in.
They had a full load of fish on and now the fish in the area are not going to bite for a while till the digest all the dead ones off the boat first

Yes me and my brother were.
Yes me and my brother were. It was a wetliner aswell, not a trawler. Snapper and mackerel we fished for.
