A bit of spring weather in Dunbar has allowed Barry to take the Lynsey B out of Cromwell Harbour to stretch her legs after nearly seven months.

Earlier today we did our first live broadcast as Barry took the Lynsey B from Cromwell Harbour through to Victoria Harbour to stretch the boats legs a bit after being tied up in harbour for two weeks since the launch.

With the Lynsey B back on the water the plan was to some sea trials and then get back to work. However, with northerly winds producing some heavy swell off the East Lothian coast, the plan had to change.

After several months on the quayside and many man-hours of work by Barry to get her shipshape, the Lynsey B's keel gets wet once again.

Barry takes you through how to inspect a seacock efficiently without having to strip it down like they do on so many MCA inspections.

In the next instalment of the refurbishment of the Lynsey B ahead of upcoming fishing season, Barry fits a new seacock to the boat. He takes you through each part and shows how to install it in the bottom of the boat.

Barry continues reducing the list of jobs that need to be completed before the Lynsey B can be put back in the water. With the fishing season approaching fast, time is of the essence.

Despite the changeable weather, Barry is cracking on with the jobs with the aim of getting the Lynsey B back in the water by the beginning of April.

Barry is back in the saddle and is working on the Lynsey B to get her ship shape to get her back in the water as soon as possible.

Barry has finished his last creel and now sets about getting the rope ready to attach to the new fleets ahead of the new fishing season.

Barry gets back to work, but he's on light duties following the operation on his arm.

In this video Barry goes through the personal gear he uses to keep safe and warm while working on the Lynsey B.

In the first video of 2024 Barry makes a start on the jobs that need doing on the Lynsey B.

The first in a new series called Skippers And Their Boats. Episode 1 is on The Spitfire and her skipper Rowan Davies.

Merry Christmas to all our viewers

After all the recent bad weather and with winter upon us, Barry took the decision to lift the Lynsey B out of the water to carry out some much needed TLC after 18 months of hard fishing.

The first in a new series where Barry will give you a Step by Step guide to building a creel.

In the last video Barry said that he would be pulling the Lynsey B out of the water for the winter due to the storms that are battering Scotland and the rest of the UK.

Storm Babet battered the East Coast of Scotland and North East England and everyone had to batten down the hatches to weather the storm.

With Storm Babet about to hit Dunbar, Barry takes the difficult decision to pull all his creels out of the sea and back to the safety of the harbour.

In this week's Vlog on OMAHB, Barry gets taken back to the past, when the Lynsey B is on the Crab!

After three weeks stuck in harbour thanks to the weather and the tides, the Lynsey B finally gets back to sea, but with more bad weather due to hit Scotland later in the week this is a small weather window.

The Mackerel are back which means free bait for the creels. Barry heads out before dawn to catch some mackerel before pulling the four sets of wooden creels in the Norwegic sector and shooting them inshore.

In this week's Vlog Barry heads to into the North Sea to shoot his second fleet of wooden creels and then heads to the rocky shallows beneath The Battery to haul a fleet of steel creels.
