Zac takes her for a spin

Complementing the Jubilee Poll opposite, one of Penzance's classic pieces of Art Deco architecture and looking resplendent in the evening sun, The Yacht Inn provides fine food, fine ale and a friendly 'book' that takes place every evening based on the time the Scillonian III is first sighted rounding Penlee Point - (roughly 10 minutes to 7pm)......rumour has it the ghost of Hercule Poirot can be sometimes be seen on that balcony.....
back in place after a major refit, the now turquoise Ross Bridge has a rash of hard hats all over it making final checks to its operational status.....
by air or by sea, a trip to Scilly has something for everyone......
a mini gin-palace, not the sort of vessel you would normally want tied up alongside your traditional working boat......
lighting up time down the old quay, no longer the job of the harbour staff to light all the harbour lamps of an evening - further up the coast, Mevagissey can boast being the first place in England to have electric street lighting, not a lot of people know that.......
although heavy showers are the order of the day as the sun drops below the yardarm.....
always a temptation of man's to leave a commemorative mark......
the IRB gets put through her paces with Zac at the helm......
guess the boat.......
some will be hoping there's a pot of gold at the foot of the rainbow.
