There's a whole lotta painting goin' on!

The immaculate Sapphire is almost ready to go back to sea, with crude oil at around $80 a barrel, some $50 less than at the start of her refit......
Drew and boys will also benefit from the reduced cost of fuel aboard the CKS, also in the middle of an extensive refit and paint job.....
back in the harbour, the dive support vessel, Mair from north of the border.....
how to shorten the main beam chains on a beamer when working on the gear in the harbour.....
the stern of the netter Ben My Chree showing tiers of net in the pound; to the right the headline with floats, to the left the footrope, a man stands in each corner, pulls on either the headline or the footrope to spread the net evenly around the pound.....
that man Alistair looks cheerful as the work aboard the crabber moves on....
there's plenty of shotblast gravel waiting to be used both inside the shelter, hence the protective tarpaulin.....
and out on the hull of the Emma Louise.....
the Polaris, a quality German yacht registered in Berlin......
whose skipper spends some time asking questions of the everhelpful Grimmy Mike Mahon.....
who netted this 10lb lobster.......
all lit up and nobody at home yet, space to let in Penzance Dock basin.
