More beamers in than out

Out in the Bay, George on the Chickadee heads back in to the harbour ahead of the Aaltje Adriante......
and then pushes her into berth....

work continues on the Calisha's gear....
as another beamer arrives, this time its the Trevessa IV......
you don't get better spiders than those from the punt men, like Chris Morley....
backs into their work, still hard at it on the Calisha and yet another use for those ubiquitous green boxes.....
nealry four foot of seaweed growth coming off the bow of the Ripple - after six months in the water it appears that tar is totally ineffective as an anti-fouling treatment for wooden hulls - still years ago many of these boats were drawn up on the beach and dried out often.....
view from the wheelhouse aft on the Seafood Cornwall Quality Award winning Nantewan just before the guys head off to sea...
the Nellie heads back in to land
brand new warps head off down the quay from the drum.
