Those photos were pre the drone era and pretty pricey but how can you resist when you get followed for 20 minutes by a helicopter with a guy with a big camera hanging out the side taking photos and the helicopter say "boatpix.com" in giant letters on the tail.

We love our little trawler, Tara, but these are the photos that still hang over my desk.
