Knowing the ropes

Cracking examples of summer cuttles - some might consider them in preference to squid for all calamari lovers out there......
the price of mackerel is holding up - must be the number of BBQs the weather is allowing this year.......

heading off to sea.......
skipper Mike Corin his kingdom from atop the Sapphire.......
the prop is looking all the better for a polish.......
but there is still plenty of paint to apply......
no doubt the Sapphire's water line will be a little straighter than the Chichadee's.......
the chippy will be busy aboard the sail boat Johanna Lucretia........
the Johanna Lucretia has had a colourful career - built as a fishing boat but never fished the boat is currently up for sale. Yet another nautical term that has become amalgamated in everyday use, the origin of the term 'learning the ropes' is self explanatory when looking at the rigging of a sailing ship.
