Jimmy's Blog
The popularity of 'Trawlermen' has indeed spread across the world and I had living proof of that recently as a family came all the way from Australia to Peterhead to visit me!
The family of four had travelled from Caroline Springs in Melbourne to Scotland and then made a special trip from Edinburgh to Peterhead to visit me - what an honour!
Stuart Murray is originally from Edinburgh but has been in Oz for 11 years now. He brought his wife, Carolyn, and their two fantastic wee boys, Mackenzie, aged 7 and Oliver, aged 4 to see me on Amity.
I had a great time showing them round the boat and telling them what it's like to be skipper Jimmy.
Let's hope that one day the boys can bring also their children to Peterhead and show them a thirving and sustainable fishing industry in Scotland.
