Twitchers head for the islands in numbers

Want to visit the Scillies for the day? walk this way.......
and catch the Scillonian III or, if you prefer, take the 20 minute flight on the helicopter......
out in the early morning sun and at anchor, the Trinity flagship, Galatea is in the process of servicing a buoy.
making a more leisurely exit is the oldest floating Cornish lugger, the Barnabus......
still showing his platinum black and white prints at the PZ Gallery......
not that you would want to walk along the harbour wall, scene of much deliberation over the proposed Scillies ferry and dock developments that include the rocks below.....
maybe one of the boats is going for some salubrious refurbishments in the accommodation areas......
coming down from on high......
while some heavy duty repairs are made to the derrick......
before the strengthened section is returned......
and the job completed........

five boxes at a time provide an early morning work out......
ideal conditions for a local paddler......
en passage, Our Maria from Brixham makes her way to the gaps......
while another hydraulic hose finds its way back in place on the hauler......
simple design purse type bait bag on a crab pot.......
well if you are stuck for a name, go for a little rhyme.......
watched by a couple of old hands, the old Sennen lifeboat......
Tesco feeds the fleet this week.
