Boy Phil was worked very hard in her days on the oyster fishery, but when the time came for a good old refit she was simply 'glassed over' and sent back out to work again. Finally she was driven up the beach in 2004 until she broke her leg and fell over, when she was then lifted onto the hard in 2006. I couldn't see the old girl destroyed, but with six years of yard fee's due and an estimated 1500hrs to restore her, no one could see her ever going back in the water. With the help of a friend and his saw mill I could see the way so I purchased her from Dave Cockwell (£1 as settlement of fee's if removed from the yard) and Sam Heard (£1 as trustee to the Boy Phil following the passing away of John 'Squitcher' Walls in 2009).

I then sold some of the rusty old ballast for £67 and a few of the 56lb weights for another £40 to pay the £100 transportation cost, so for a very brief while I was a fiver up..
