a bit more? Yeah, I reckon. All the talk is of a new boat
joining the fleet, the Ann Louise. Just get a bit of slack there,
it might easier, won't it? 26-year-old Jack West is the latest
youngster to take on his own boat. Basically, it's a new boat
for us, like. We've just...just finished fitting
it out, you know? Getting everything ready and
get to sea and earn some money. All right? Yeah. It's a huge investment
for the West family. They bought the boat from
a fisherman in Lowestoft, and they've spent thousands
on a refit. It's all new gear, all new winch,
net drums are all new. All my bridles, my warps. There's nothing worse going to sea,
with worn-out stuff. Drop the door
