High tea, high blood pressure!

 Tea by the sea self-contained underway on the prom........
 and a date to put in the diary to sit at probably the longest table in the UK.......
more parrot food washed up on the beach........
Penzance's Rotary Club ably assisted by staff from Treliske Hospital provide a free annual blood pressure test in the Mission........
 the huge Dutch flagged beamer Ora et Labora makes her way in through the gaps..........
and carefully moves over to.........
the end of the quay.........
closely followed by HL 42, Endeavour on passage from her old home port of Hartlepool to her new home in the once great hake port of Milford Haven........
a compact and well rigged inshore boat........ 
with two net drums aft........
and a big thumbs up from the wheelhouse.........
 the Neptune is looking all he better for a coat of pillar box red paint ready to start on the scallops - and of course home every night unless she's prepared to work more than six miles off under the new rules for scallop fishing in Cornish waters........
 a touch of history under way in the harbour......
is passed by Mr Cripps on his way in for another round of Saturday euchre in the Mission.
