as the Crystal Sea II heaves a line ashore......
before landing to the waiting transport.....
no doubt the boys will be looking to sell more advertising space on the sides of the wheelhouse.....
keeping an eye on things from the cab while refueling, Consol Oils roving internal security agent......
an early start for the Resolute.....
and the Lyonesse as they head off for another Cornish Sardine chase.....
swimmers en-masse in wetsuits out in the Bay......
