Just before high water, Penzance prom (unique in Cornwall) keeps the dog walkers at bay.... in Newlyn, the ex-fishing vessel, Zephyr takes shelter on passage..... amidst a crowded harbour, though there are no French boats in which means this is a quick blow.... the Ripple is kept off the quayside by the breeze....looks like someone on the verge of a new adventure as they make their early way down the quay in their new sea-boot socks and laden with sea bag and sleeping kit..... on a day when the market was almost devoid of fish..... they say a sailor has one in every port, here it seems we have boxes from every port, how many countries are represented here?.... bet the chap who invented plastic cable-ties never dreamed they would be used by fishermen to secure the fishing line to the footrope of trawls!...
the Crystal Sea II's doors provide the ideal home for a lost banana skin.
