Eighteen foot tide today

Riding well out of the water after coming down off the slip, the CKS will soon be putting all her gear back aboard....
which is waiting for the boys down the new Quay....
despite much speculation about prospecting for oil, the rig is awaiting sailing orders, with an MCA imposed restriction keeping her in port until the forecast is giving Force 3 or less, it is hoped she will move out today and make the three or four hour tow round the Lizard to anchor off Cadgwith....
today's tide is big enough....

it's a tight squeeze in the narrows for the earthmoving kit on its way to the Penlee Marina development.....
maybe the skies will brighten over the port later today.......
clearing up after landing, the Ben My Chree put ashore a good shot of craws and lobster after a trip marred by hauler problems and very uncomfortable weather......
could be a revelation aboard the Cornishman.....
signs of the impending Fish Festival this weekend, the barriers are ready to go......
as ever, the local refrigertaion companies are kept busy servicing the fishrooms aboard the fleet.
