Get the bunting out! - it's Catherine and Wills' wedding day.

The wedding day bunting that adorned some of Stevenson's fleet is nearly as old as the boats themselves........ 
and could do with seeing an iron perhaps........ 
while in historic Chapel Street, Penzance's oldest pub, the Turk's Head was set for the day......
along the prom,  the Lugger Hotel was covered in Union Jacks........
 as was the Farmer's Market outside St John's Hall........
in a Chapel Street gallery window, a cartoon depicts the Americas Cup in 1901 when Sir Thomas Lipton with Shamrock II led an unsuccessful challenge against the Americans with their boat Columbia - more info on the artist needed here.......
 on her way to the Scillys.......
 the Matthew........
 complete with a gig team for the World Gig Championships........
 still with her Dawn Treader main sail furled.......
 even boats get have their own fly past........
 time to get the kit aboard.......
 a few day's work on this trawl ahead......
 paint up time on the CKS........
 fantastic looking turbot from the Harvest Reaper........
with a very busy market to finish the week.
