       Got quite a few snagging jobs done aboard the Vigilant and Ocean Way in Peterhead this morning. Ranging from replacing one of the very heavy Neovo QX55 inch screens as the port one had a black line across the screen like missing pixels. Fitted a UPS to the vessels office PC, Programmed private channels into their Sailor VHFs, Installed the correct drivers for one of their two fishroom scales printers and various other stuff. Even found time with the skippers permission for a few photographs for you lot. I didn't take all around but you'll get the gist.

       @justine and did you install OpenBSD on either of them? 😉They look much fancier than my house! Then again they probably cost a lot more too!

       Haha No I didn't. I don't think that they would quite like it as fishermen don't generally like computers.

       But having said that the Olex 3D seabed plotter runs on Linux as do our custom IP video matrix and their touch screen PCs.CC: @teapot_ben@glammr.us

       @justine oh, we're going there are we?Well I'm not going to flounder, and I'll put my heart and sole into a suitable reply. I cod make a joke about the ships being in (had)dock but that's too easy.

       The trawl doors. You should see the size of them on pelagic fishing vessels.

       @justineI remember trawl doors on the local fleet in Lochinver but they were just slightly curved lumps of steel with some strengthening members welded across the back, probably a little bigger than a man in length?  Those are humongous 😄

       These new doors that are on pelagic vessels have a battery inside them so the computer onboard can sort of control them as they swim through the water to keep the nets open.

       It's not really, it can be extremely mentally and physically hard work though.
