Christmas lights and shiny new marine electronics.

One set of mackerel feathers washed up minus the hooks, must have been down there for some time......
an evening of fun and entertainment for all the family, young and old alike, the Mission's Christmas special this Friday - in the Mission, all very welcome........
contact 0785504497 for more info on this Cygnus 19 for sale.......
Nigel has a few soft eye parlour pots for sale.......
just arrived despite the snow from the far north.......
clean and calm enough this morning, good to see the sky is still blue up there........
even though the clouds look a little menacing........
ready for the off, engines running on the Sparkling Line........
long shadows over the marina pontoons........
the harbour workhorses for the Stevenson fleet sit quietly........
all smiles despite the early hour for crab king, cap'n Harris........
bits of gear going down the quay with haker Andrew Stevens.......
early finish for the baby of the Ocean Fish ring net fleet.......
a few gallons of zinc has gone on the hull of PZ1001..........
despite appearances, the remaining timber on those worm-eaten fenders is still in top condition - amazing stuff wood.......
down comes a shower........
plenty of buffs for plenty of gear........
proud of the Irish connection, the Stevens can race their roots back to Irish antecedents, most likely shipwrecked when skipper Elijah failed to keep a good lookout........
top quality job on the engine and electrics box aboard the Benediction........
with easy access to the important engine bits....... 
ice time.........
good to see two trees gone in place this morning.......
and a third just gone up........
under the watchful eye of harbour lights stalwart George, next year's lights will be in doubt as the cost of insurance rose to over £4,000 this year!
