So this video was filmed the day before lockdown commenced in the UK. I was staying indoors as the weather was pretty rough and the COVID-19 pandemic was starting to become quite serious. I was browsing Marine Traffic in the morning and noticed there was a trawler heading back towards Brixham which was quite understandable given the sea conditions out in the English Channel. As I needed some fresh air I decided to hop in the car and drive over to Brixham to go grab a shot of her arriving. I knew that the Easterly winds would be blowing straight into Torbay making the sea conditions quite interesting. I was also aware that the vessel would be quite literally surfing into Torbay as she had the waves and wind behind her.
The sea conditions were just as I had expected, in fact probably a little worse then I was expecting. I film the trawler steaming back into Brixham right from Berry Head to Brixham breakwater where she enters the safety of the harbour. The day after this video was filmed the UK started to enter lockdown.
A big THANK YOU to the NHS and all other key workers for their service. As this video is fishing related thank you to the fisherman in particular as well for not only being key workers but for also braving conditions like these just to put food on our tables.
