Penlee lifeboat Ivan Ellen has an early Sunday morning shout

Sunday sail day, as the Snowdrop heads ot for a day in a strong breeze under captain Mervyn.....
closely followed by the Ripplemeister himself.....
as the crew pull fenders aboard.....
the crew waste no time after clearing the gaps.....
as they hoist the mains'l......
and head off towards the Mount.....
creating a picture from a bygone era....
before the peace is shattered by the Ivan Ellen racing out.....
on a shout......
while the inshore scalloper, Katie Clarie takes things at a more sedate pace.....
later, the Ivan Ellen tows her disabled yacht under the stern of the MCA's Anglian Princess on her way back to Newlyn, mission accomplished.
