Sunday morning and another night of heavy ground sea in the bay sees the main mast on the lugger Ripple brought down...
and laid to rest in the harbour...
soon enough...
Jeremy is on hand to help sort a safer berth for the lugger to weather out the next few days...
meanwhile, the South Pier constructed at a cost (in today's money of £8 million) in 1887, just nine years before the Ripple was built, is doing its job of protecting the harbour, something the Ripple and the lugger fleet 130years ago would have been very grateful for...
the heavy swell and forecast storm have forced the Billy Rowney...
to head for home...
through the gaps...
and back in port for the morning market...
evidence of the heavy swell all to apparent in the gaps - and tomorrow, an unprecedented 36ft swell...
is predicted west off Lands End during the day...
the swell in the bay today is all too apparent as the Steph of Ladram and the Billy Rowney make it through the gaps and home.
