Fifteen months since the last trip.....

Little Pearl sets off for an evening shot of Cornish sardines......
while the Silver Dawn gets a blast on the slipway.....
while it's all hands to the pump - a wise precaution as the Marie Clare prepares to steam out for her first trip in fifteen months....
the engineer makes last minute checks down the engine room.....
as mate Juicy adjusts the starboard beam bridles....Skipper Billy Worth and the boys are about ready to let go the ends as the evening sun sets just after high water. Although she hasn't been to sea for over a year the boys will be back aboard the St George which is currently in Holland for repairs.
