work on the Old Quay had reached the final stages with just the access road to be repaired...

the rig is still on station in the bay...
busy enough in the lorry park...

fuel time for the BM registered beamer...

cracking big blue...
quality inshore fish...
fine turbot from the one beamer to land...

stacked boxes of fish everywhere...
including grey mullet...
sardines...
monk...
more sardines...
hands that don't do dishes...
hake from the Silver Dawn...
and Ajax...
