Absolutely mate it was actually the first time she has actually enjoyed being out fishing which made me enjoy my day even more, we learnt a few good lessons today especially with steering a tiller steer I was all over the show to begin with until I got the hang of turning left to go right and right to go left by the end of the day we had the boat planing along at 12-13 knots quite comfortably once I had mastered the back to front steering you get with a tiller steer, we did get caught in some very lumpy conditions earlier in the day while we were heading for a channel we wanted to try out during an outgoing tide the boat was stable in it but not in a rush to have that again for a while at the time we were out in tandem with a mate of mine who was in his own tinny as well as being experienced and a qualified skipper and he was giving me some good pointers on how to handle that sort of stuff.
