Bad charter boat in Fenit

#1 Post by seaotter »

Hi all ,
during last few weeks we managed to book the same boat twice ....
the first time we managed to go out about few km behind lighthouse
and the water started slowly to appeared in the lowest part of the boat so we didn't go further out
and didn't go home ether....
the round two :shock: arrived to the Fenit marina to see the same boat is waiting for us ,fixed ,,,,
ok packed out rods and stuff ready, all happy to see open waters ,engine started ,boat moved out of the marina ,,,,,
outside the gate ,when the skipper increased engine revs something started loud vibrating game over, U turn
for me this is past and wont see it again ,but I hope that this story maybe will save somebody`s life
Tight lines and stay safe
