SECOND BOAT GIG IN A YEAR

Gone Fishing

Sunday 16th November I experienced one of my strangest gigs ever. The last time I heard real live music at sea was Robyn Hitchcock, but Richard Otley was something else.

We all went fishing for the second week running on Mark Spencers tug, Hofland. We being me Colin Downer, Richard, Mark and a beautiful lady called Paula. ( I taught her about end tackle ).

Anyway about 4.30pm just as the darkness had arrived we found ourselves anchored off of Kings Quay, near Wootton when Richard decides he is mellow enough to play his 12 string.

He cracked through a set that included: Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Stairway to Heaven Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay, You've Got a Friend It sure beat working on that marketing assignment for college.
