Stranger things at sea

Yound Adam, next generation in the Curtiss dynasty takes a mooring rope from the legendary Joe Crowe aboard the Elisabeth Veronique as he pulls into a berth......
the boat is currently triple-rigging and targetting quality fish like brill, Dover, lemon and megrim sole.....
it seems that rigger boots are de rigeur abord her......
last trip they had the right foot, this trip the left from an old Hunter Bullseye boot......
just a sample of this weeks catch, it never ceases to amaze trawlermen just what appears in the cod ends........
suits you Sir!........
off up the slip goes the netter, Gary M........
as the Tranquility pulls into berth on the end of the new quay......
wear and tear on a beamer shoe, with one new plate fitted.......
after landing the inshore boat, Shiralee heads home......
so too the Scillonian III at just after 7pm........
there's a big match tonight when the Pirates take on London Welsh at the Mennaye Field ground.
