Weather breaks - Good Friday becomes sailing day for many in the fleet

One up one down, Still work to be done aboard the Cornishman......
ex-Jersey beamer, diving exploration vessel Evert Marutje takes up a berth......
complete with hammocks slung aft side of the wheelhouse.....
the Ripple is rigged and ready to put to sea sometime over Easter......
first of the punts heads out to sea.....
followed by Alan Nudd in the Intuition.....
when the Billy Rowney makes an early re-appearance......
a gaggle of ever-hungry Blackbacks disturb the quietness
taking advantage of the local flower crop, the Smugglers Restaurant sets the tables for the weekend's tide of tourists.....
as yet another boat prepares to sail.....
there's plenty for the visitors to see, though they might become a tad frustrated in their attempts at finding the now defunct Pilchard Works Museum.......
Badcock's Gallery has a colourful show of 3D work......
to attract any passing trippers looking for the Pilchard Works.....
a fine forecast should make a stroll round the harbour top of any visitor's itinerary....
over in Penzance the Ross Bridge is now open for business.....
and there's a big influx of divers who won't be too happy at the weeks heavy swell which will have reduced visibility considerably from what it was last weekend.....
how many local faces (apart from Piglet's) can you spot on this mural outside Bramwell Mill?
