All hands aboard the St Malo registered Cezembre wait for the arrival of the 'fridge man' to repair their fishroom cooling system.....
unusually for a yacht in the harbour, a feminine hand on the helm......
not Billy, but Charlie at the helm......
with the end still smoking the topping wire is pulled off the winch by the finest pair of knees in Newlyn, "seen better legs than that hanging out of a nest" said Charlie.......
as ever, happy in their work.......
bad news for 'le patron' - the fridge man, with Andrew wearing his French Consulate's hat and acting as translator, has determined the coolant failure - the compressor has seized - luckily the boat was due to land back in St Malo on Monday anyway.......
two minutes later she heads for the gaps......
back south for an unexpected weekend off.......
a gaggle of St Ives boats on the hard.......
over in Penzance Dock, with a blustery day forecast for tomorrow, booking a trip on the Ruth could be a real adventure.....
every spare berth taken up with pleasure craft large and small.
