Dads Boat

This is my Dads fishing boat. It is called the "Gay Maree". It is 18m long and is a trawler. This means it tows a big net behind the boat to catch the fish. Dad catches lots of fish including sharks, snapper, tarakihi, gurnard, trevally, gurnard and john dory. He lifts the net into the boat with a winch and then puts the fish down in the fishroom which is full of ice to keep the fish cool and fresh. The fishroom also has refridgeration which means it is like a big fridge!!!! My Dad sleeps on the boat and he also has a little kitchen on the boat, this is called a galley.
