65 and out

Waiting patiently for a landing space under the crane, Quentin on the Sea Spirit.....
ex-Lowestoft fisherman Steven Leach gets to do the mending ashore waiting for his son on the Achieve to arrive.....
one of the young bloods steams away from the market....
while another retrieves a few boxes from the water...
holding on to his cap, master GRP boat builder Danny Downing powers his punt away from the market - if you need anything doing in GRP on the boat - he's your man.......
Quentin finally gets under the crane to hoist his boxes ashore ....
down the New Quay aboard the Cornishman after landing there is much work to do on the gear....
so the gas axe is put to good use to cut away the fishing line.....
which involves a little cooling down process, the man with the hose is celebrating today...
so it's a last chance to leave his mark aboard the boat.....
for Rob on his 65th birthday, it's finally time to heave on the gear for the last time and throw his bag ashore for good!.....
the transport has arrived for the Crystal Sea II and Valhalla....
making good use of the shelterdeck rails to store some spare buffs....
the Achieve makes it to the market where father Leach will undoubtedly lend a hand to land and leave the mending for later.
