Hey! Mr Blue sky




Late showers...


and an empty Penzance Dock now...


looking back west...


as the sun breaks behind the Scillonian III...


almost like a film set...


looking for that elusive pot of gold...


somewhere over the harbour...


a French yacht makes a break for it form the wet dock at dawn...


and makes her way out to the Bay...


classic ship the Greyhound all set for Falmouth Tall Ships later this week...


showing the massive clump that helps separate the twin trawls...


a familiar looking hull - she used to be the Ygrain skippered and owned by Barney Thomas from St Ives...


as a Cygnus 44 she began life as a stern trawler and was one of the biggest new boats built for Newlyn in the 1980s...






the sun keeps trying to shine...


the French yacht make her sails ready for sea...



not all houses in Penzance are granite...


so there's another missing pot!
