You may have wondered why Dave and Caroline, one time my most prolific Catch Reporters, had been absent from this site. Poor Caroline had been fighting cancer but after many brave months she she has now been given the all clear, which we are all delighted to hear. They have some other news too – they will be starting a new charter business from their purpose-built Swiftcat 11.4 metre catamaran – see photo above. Due to be launched in the Spring on 2018, it will be to be fitted with Evinrude Etec G2 300hp engines which will provide a cruising speed of 26 – 28 knots and a WOT of 42 knots. It will be coded for 12+2 but the plan is to limit anglers to 8. There is a temporary web site www.charterboatdointhedo.co.uk
We will bring more news as the project progresses. In the meantime, we look forward to seeing more of Dave and Caroline on this site, with their amazing catches. Here is a reminder:
I would like to convey my best wishes to Caroline and Dave; the very best news regarding Caroline’s recovery and exciting news about the new charter venture. There is no doubt that future customers will be in with the very best chance of catching some specimen fish.
I do not know Dave or Caroline personally, but have enjoyed reading their posts on various forums and Dave certainly knows his stuff and talks a lot of sense.
Good luck to both of you in the future.
Rick.
