Year Seven – Done!
I set myself the challenge at the age of 70 of catching a marlin a year until I’m 80. Now 77, here is my seventh successful year!!!
Nothing should hold you back. Yes I was exhausted, but I was exhilarated and lived a year in a day. Grab life while you can.

Or if you are on Instagram you can see the video with a fantastic soundtrack.

I lost a very very dear friend last week. Peter Fowler MBE. As the following article says, he was one of New Covent Garden’s most influential figures of the last 50 years. I tell you what we had some fun together. When I feel more able to do so, I’ll share a story or two with you.
One response to “NEVER STOP !!!!!”
Keep it going Dickie, well done for your marlin, great achievement. Top picture shows a beautiful fish behind Pete’s boat. I caught that fish in 2014 aboard Ole Jogi skippered by Stu Simpson and accompanied by Simon Rowe played with him for three hours 45 mins, one engine went out on the boat which made it quite difficult at times, anyway, eventually broke the line and swam off gracefully.
Crew estimated him at about 550 pound but who knows. Great black which will be in my mind forever. Once again keep going.
