Anchored in the Bay, an square-rigged cruise ship, passengers were ferried ashore and enjoyed a guided tour of St Michael's Mount during the day - for anyone who has not yet visited the Mount - do so - the history is fascinating - especially the occasion when the locals, defending the Mount under seige, decide to 'go ashore' for a 'few beers' of a Friday night - thereby ending years of seige in a trice!.....
being West Cornwall, the local council employs seagulls as car park attendants.....
practice night in sultry conditions for one of the Portheras crews.....
as they row out past the old Lowestoft steam drifter, Feasible (more here) laid to alongside the old stone quay after being towed back from the Isles of Scilly.....
up on the slip for the first time, the Cornwall Sea Fisheries protection vessel St Piran gets her bottom scrubbed.....
out in the Bay, another sail boat is enjoying the gentle breeze with an evening sail for the MBLA's lugger Happy Return.
