✨End of an era✨

Skipper Roy has turned the keys on the RIBs for the last time today🥹

Many, if not all of you will know Roy. He was the face of the ‘Osprey of Anstruther’ over the years. Many of you will have sailed with him, you might even have been served a burger made by him when he’s had his chef’s hat on down the harbour. Whatever your memories of him are, there’s no doubt he’s been a big part of the community so help us to wish him a very warm farewell.

Roy, We are grateful for the help and guidance you given over these last few years.

All the best Roy and Irene on your new chapter🫶

We’ll miss you!

The cod-father he calls himself, and if he’s getting catches like this every time he’s aboard, then we’ll call him it too!

Fancy trying your hand at it? See if you can give Gordon a run for his money. Why not!

We’ve got fishing trips scheduled for almost every day (excluding Sundays) until mid August, after this we go down to a couple of times a week.

‼️Berwick Bank Windfarm‼️

This is not something we usually post about but it’s something that we feel really strongly about. You probably won’t have heard about it as, like many of these things it’s been kept under wraps. We were only just informed about it by a lovely lady who kindly provided us with the info in the photos below. And after learning more about it we’re completely stunned at what we were hearing and by the fact this is the first of us hearing about it and that no one else seems to know about it either, so we are trying to spread the word and would appreciate it if you could as well before it’s too late.

The wind farm proposed is to built on the outer part of the firth of forth, with over 300 wind turbines, it’s set to be 4 times the size of Edinburgh and will be the largest wind farm in the UK.

We are very fortunate in this area to be the home of such amazing wildlife. Home to Britains 3rd largest puffin colony and the world’s largest northern gannet population, the impact of this will no doubt be devastating with a prediction of tens of thousands seabirds to be killed not to mention the impact that the seismic testing will have on the marine life.

Please help us put a stop to this, the proposed sight is not the right area for this.

Our friends at the Scottish Seabird Centre have set up a petition, please add your name to it It takes two seconds and can make all the difference in the effort. Please do your part to help protect the wildlife as shown in the photos below there is also a meeting Pittenweem new town hall from 12 noon to 6pm on Monday 30th June, please go if you can as there will be officials there to speak to. There is also a page on their website that tells you more about the plan.
