Scalloper Jacoba makes her way to the quay at the end of an other trip, this time in fine weather, a must for scalloping even for a boat of this size!
A shaded Shane steers Cornwall Sea Fisheries protection vessel St Piran towards a berth on the new quay from the flying bridge....ably assisted by 'I see no ships (only hardships)' Zac and crew....
Under tow, the EAW or Webster makes her way to her final berth before being broken up by the scrap team.
The harbour punt has been called in to assist in the manouvre, carried out at high water on the spring tide in order to get her as far up the quay as possible.
Harbour Master, Andrew Munson steps nimbly ashore to speak with the Clive from the scrap team.......
as the bow rope is made good....
and the Chickadee heads back to her berth, job done...and her helmsman couldn't possibly recall the number of times the Chickadee has been called on to move the EAW!
